Answer 2

Fever (also known as pyrexia, or a febrile response from the Latin word febris meaning fever, and archaically known as ague) is a frequent medical symptom that describes an increase in internal body temperature to levels that are above normal (37°C, 98.6°F). Fever is most accurately characterized as a temporary elevation in the body’s thermoregulatory set-point, which is usually by about 1-2°C. Fever differs from hyperthermia, which is an increase in body temperature over the body’s thermoregulatory set-point (due to excessive heat production or insufficient thermoregulation, or both). Fever should not necessarily be treated. Fever is an important signal that there's something wrong in the body, and it can be used for follow-up. Fever might help the immune system or hinder specific pathogens, but this is generally considered of little importance. Moreover, not all fevers are of infectious origin.

Most people take medication against fever because it causes discomfort. Fever increases heart rate and metabolism, thus potentially putting an additional strain on elderly patients, patients with heart disease, etc. This may even cause delirium. Therefore, potential benefits (if any) must be weighed against risks in these patients. In any case, fever must be brought under control in instances when fever escalates to hyperpyrexia, and tissue damage is imminent.

Treatment of fever should primarily be based on lowering the setpoint, but facilitating heat loss may contribute. The former is accomplished with antipyretics. Heat loss may be an effect of heat conduction, convection, radiation or evaporation (=sweating, perspiration). This may be particularly important in babies, to whom it is best not to give too many drugs. However, when someone would use water that is too cold, this induces vasoconstriction and prevents adequate heat loss.

Take care The Baldchemist

ps if you are too hot then get rid of the wrappings. You dont sweat anything off. You risk serious overheating damage to your health.
Get the room temperature down to 22 degrees Celcius. About 68-70 farenheit. Drink lots and eat normally if you can. Dont listen to the dumass who said starve a cold feed a fever. (idiotic old wives tales)

Answer 4

Get fluids quick, and take a cool shower. Dude that is not cool at all. If you don't have air conditioning or fans, go somewhere where you can sit down relax, and be cool. Try the library, or a close fast food restaurant. But at least make sure you have something cold to drink!

Answer 5

you could be experiencing a fever associated with an infection; place cold compresses on your head to keep the temperature down--a temperature of 103 can cause you to start convulsing and can mess your brain go get blood work so your doctor can give you some antibiotics.

Answer 6

Sounds like you are sick, dude. Starve a cold/feed a fever.
