Low Grade and High Grade Fever
This resource gives information about low grade and high grade fever and where one should take medicines.
Fevers - A normal phenomenon of Body strength
We all have fever in some or the other times of life. Some people have fever every now and then, while some people have fever during a specific season and climatic condition and some people had fever; which they do not remember when!
But there is no one in this world who did not have fever anytime in life! And I will be very much surprised to find anyone who did not have fever anytime in life.
Fever is a condition when the blood supply in the body gains more momentum or speed and the body gains more temperature than the "Normal Range" and this increased speed of blood flow is done by altering the actions of the blood vessels and also by altering the heart beating rate and many a times by the emotional and psychological status of the mind.
The External Factors responsible to cause fever
We all are exposed to allergens, changed diet, not so good food, something that our body does not like, excessive physical work and other factors, where our body uses more energy to compensate for the increased need of energy, either in physical work or to fight out the allergens which have entered our body.
Allergens in our body! No need to panic. Our immune systems are strong enough to deal with. Even the thinnest of persons has them.
So now when the immune system is working, it is bound to increase the body temperature and thus is what we term as fever.
Okay, let me take a Anti - Fever Medicine. The Fever Ends!
It seems very simple to say. But actually what you are doing by popping the anti fever medicine is that you are NOT letting your immune systems to do their work. The medicine simply reduces the blood flow and the immune cells are able to do their actions, but slowly.
So what happens? Your body requirement of high energy is not provided because of low blood flow speed, the allergens get more time to do their destructive work before being removed by the immune system.
Ultimately, your troubles increase which we feel as weakness and prostration.
So, even high grade fever is good?
Well, when your fever does continue over long time (more than 2 to 3 days), then it indicates that your body "processor" is working a lot and it now needs some help from outside. Again, do not simply pop the Anti - Fever medicine. Check out now with a proper medical aid, whether you need any other aid. Do you need antibiotics? Is there any other problem? Check out with your doctor and have a proper aid done.
