fever.. fever...?

Question

why is temperature highest during the afternoon?

Answer 1

When your body is at rest, it cools down. When it is active it warms up. Your body has a thermostat just like a car does. If this temperature goes too low it will cause hypothermia. It it goes too high it will cause a stroke like a sun stroke from getting too much hot sun, or a fever stroke from having your fever go too high. Also just like a car, our thermostat is regulated by our radiator which is where the water is kept that cools the car or the kidneys that cools the body. Just like a car overheats when it is low on water, so will your body if it is low on water. Sometimes if we are drinking the wrong beverages we may be voiding that liquid through our radiator (kidneys) but the body cannot use it as water so it will still heat up too much, no different than if we put juice in a car's radiator. It may run for a bit, but would have mechanical problems very soon. So will the body. IF the body's temperature is rising more than the the required amount for it to be normal, it is usually a fever. Fevers tell us that the body has a problem. Some of those problems will cause the body's temperature to rise and remain up. Other ones will cause the body to have a day fever and at night or rest time will lower it. Usually the rule of thumb is that if the fever goes up and down, it is viral infection and if it stays up, it will be a bacterial infection. That is not always the case though and also, some people can have infections and never have a fever. About 15 years ago I went to the ER for what I thought was an alergic reaction to some full strength starch I had used to stiffen some crochet work. The palms of my hands were burning and itching and bright red. About 2 weeks before this day, I had a few days where I had a dry patch in the back of my throat with no other symptoms and eventually it just went away. No fever, no other symptoms. When I got checked at the ER the doctor said he wanted to do a throat culture. I never mentioned the dry patch in my throat becasue I was there for my burning, itching hands. I figured they wanted to make sure that the alergy wasn't in my throat and closing it or something. The culture came back that I had an advanced case of Scarlet Fever but I didn't even have a temperature or any symptoms except the hands problem. They said they had to hospitalize me to give me some interveinous antibiotics. I told them all I had was an alergic reaction to the starch. The doctor said that the rash on my hands had nothing to do with the starch but was the Scarlet Fever rash and he didn't know why it wasn't anywhere else on my body or why I didn't have a fever but I was sick none the less and needed to be in quarantine. Within 24 hours after they started the antibiotics, my temperature shot up to 104.8 and my body was covered in a bright red rash. It had been fighting the infection all by itself but as soon as the doctors gave me something to help me fight it, my body decided to quit fighting it on its own. You never know. I was in the hospital for over a week.
