Fever is a temporary increase in body temperature, often in response to an infection or inflammation. It is a natural response by the body to help fight off infections and stimulate the immune system.
The average normal body temperature is around 98.6°F (37°C). A fever is generally considered when the body temperature rises above 100.4°F (38°C).
Fever can be caused by various factors, including infections (such as flu, colds, or urinary tract infections), inflammatory conditions, certain medications, and, less commonly, heat-related illnesses.
Fever can make parents sleepless, but it is normal for children to have a fever as a part of growing up. The fever should fade away in 3-6 days, always keep an eye and just do not let the fever rise.
At a young age children’s immune systems are not fully formed and our body temperature starts going up in the evening. It is common to have an escalating fever at night.
Body temperature can be measured using a thermometer. Common methods include oral, rectal, ear (tympanic), and forehead (temporal artery) measurements. The method used may depend on age, the individual’s condition, and the type of thermometer available.
While many fevers resolve on their own and are a normal part of the body’s defense mechanism, it’s important to seek medical attention if the fever is persistent, accompanied by severe symptoms, or if it occurs in infants, elderly individuals, or those with compromised immune systems.
Home remedies for fever include staying hydrated, resting, and using over-the-counter fever-reducing medications like acetaminophen or ibuprofen. It’s essential to follow dosing instructions and consult a healthcare professional, especially for children or individuals with pre-existing conditions.
Firstly, if your baby is 6 months or less, do not give them any medication without consulting a doctor because it can worsen the baby’s condition in many ways.
When the fever has lasted for more than 60 hours, you should immediately get in touch with a doctor.
