Fever is the body’s natural response to infection or inflammation, marked by an elevated body temperature. It is not an illness but often a symptom of an underlying condition such as a viral or bacterial infection. Fever plays a critical role in activating the immune system to combat harmful pathogens.
Fever is a natural response of the body to infection or illness. Effective fever treatment focuses on reducing discomfort, staying hydrated, and identifying and addressing the underlying cause of the fever.
1. Home Remedies and General Measures for fever treatment:
Hydration: Drink plenty of water, clear broths, and electrolyte solutions to prevent dehydration.
Rest: Allow your body to recover by getting sufficient rest.
