📖What is Fever?

Fever is a temporary rise in body temperature above the normal range (37°C/98.6°F), usually a sign that the body's immune system is fighting an infection. It is often accompanied by chills, sweating, headache, and muscle aches, and may fluctuate over the day depending on the underlying cause. Most fevers in adults are short-lived and resolve within a few days as the body clears the underlying illness.
