Fevers occur as a natural response to fight off infection or illness.

A fever is generally defined as a temperature of 38°C (100.4°F) or above.

Four symptoms of a fever include elevated body temperature, sweating, chills, and a headache.

A temperature of 103°F (39.4°C) or greater is considered higher than usual.

Resting, drinking plenty of fluids, and taking over-the-counter drugs like ibuprofen or acetaminophen are some ways to reduce a fever. A cool, moist cloth applied to the forehead can also help.

A fever is typically an indication that your body is fighting an illness. A fever can occur for no apparent reason, although it is usually caused by an underlying medical issue. Fever for no apparent reason could be caused by autoimmune illnesses, infection, or certain drugs.

If your temperature exceeds 103°F (39.4°C) or lasts more than three days and/or you are experiencing other symptoms such as a strong headache, confusion, difficulty breathing, chest pain, or rashes, you should get medical assistance immediately.
