Fever is a common symptom of many infections, indicating that the body is fighting an illness. It can be caused by bacterial, viral infections, or other conditions like inflammation or heat exhaustion. Common symptoms include high temperature, chills, sweating, fatigue, and body aches. While fever itself is not an illness, it is important to identify and treat the underlying cause. Treatment includes hydration, rest, fever-reducing medications, and in some cases, antibiotics or antivirals if an infection is present. If fever persists or is accompanied by severe symptoms, seeking medical care is crucial. For expert diagnosis and treatment, consult Dr. Aparna More today!
