    What is a Fever?

    • A hot sensation in the head

    • A continuous pain in the head.

    • Fever is a rise in our body's normal temperature, which on average, is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Fever is part of our body's defense mechanism

    Correct Answer
    A. Fever is a rise in our body's normal temperature, which on average, is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Fever is part of our body's defense mechanism
    Explanation
    Fever is a rise in our body's normal temperature, which on average, is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. It is a natural response of our body's defense mechanism to fight off infections and illnesses. When our body detects the presence of pathogens, it increases its temperature to create an unfavorable environment for the pathogens to survive and reproduce. This increase in temperature helps to activate our immune system and enhance its response to the infection. Therefore, fever is not just a symptom but an important mechanism that helps our body to fight off infections.

    When should you medicate for a fever?

    • Up to 102 F (38.9 C)

    • Never

    • Above 102 F (38.9 C)

    Correct Answer

    When the body temperature rises above 102 F (38.9 C), it is considered a high fever. At this point, it is recommended to medicate in order to bring the fever down. Lower fevers, such as up to 102 F (38.9 C), may not necessarily require medication as they can be the body's natural defense mechanism to fight off infections. However, if the fever persists or if there are other concerning symptoms, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional.
