What is fever ?
Whenever any bacteria or virus inters into our body our body temperature increases from normal is called FEVER.
Normal Body Temperature
.37 degree celcius and in fahrenhiet is 98.6 degree.
In our bloodstreams pyrogens are flow. pyrogens are chemical whenvever pyrogens are come in contact with any bacteria or virus then body temperature increases. as you know that hypothalamus is the incharge of regulation of body temperature. so these pyrogens by bloodstream reach to the hypothalamus in brain and attach to the some receptors of hypothalamus and give the signal to increase the temperature.
Pyrogens are of different types but Interleukin-1 is common pyrogens. IL-1 is produced by white blood cells called macrophage cells. when these interleukin come in contact with any bacteria or virus . interleukin has many purpose first is that to activate other white blood cells called T helper cells. One of to increase the temperature of body by attaching receptors of hypothalmus in brain.
Interleukin increase the temperature becoz its wants to make unfavorable condition for particular bacteria or virus and destroy them.
One of the most common debate is that increase of temperature during FEVER is good or not ?
The reality is that increase of temperature is good for patients of FEVER.
Diagnosis
Increase of temperature from normal. Normal temperature is
37 degree celcius and in fahrenhiet is 98.6 degree.
Treatment
Aspirin or Paracetamol for example, will reduce fever; but if the fever is actually helping
rid the body of infection, then lowering it might not be a good idea. On
the other hand, people sometimes die from fever. Right now the general
medical consensus falls on the "reduce the fever" side of the fence.
