Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether it is better to avoid fever medication considering the benefits of the fever.

These responses include inflammation at the site of infection, rise in body temperature, weakness, and many more. These responses are mainly due to the release of histamine by the mast cells.

Summary Introduction

The consequences of overmedicating a fever and the risk of allowing a fever to rise too high.

Introduction:

The property of the body to maintain internal conditions is called homeostasis. This property is manipulated during an infection, and the overall body temperature increases. This increase in the body temperature decreases the rate of growth of the pathogen so that the immune cells can fight the infection easily.
