Do you know why we get a fever?
Do you know why we get a fever? Fever, clinically known as pyrexia, is an abnormal increase in body temperature, usually due to an illness. Commonly thought as an undesirable side effect of diseases, fever is actually an effective way the body uses to fight infections. Patients usually recover faster when they allow fever to run its course rather than suppressing it with fever-reducing medications. This is because a higher temperature slowdown the growth of most pathogens, as well as boosts the effectiveness of the body's immune response. It also increases metabolic rates and thereby accelerating tissue repair. Normally, the hypothalamus keeps the body's temperature within a narrow range around 37degrees Celsius, or 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. The hypothalamus acts like a thermostat. It receives inputs from heat and cold receptors throughout the body, and activates heating or cooling, accordingly. When the body is too hot, the hypothalamus sends instructions for it to cool down, for example, by producing sweat. On the other hand, when temperature drops, the hypothalamus directs the body to preserve and produce heat, mainly via the release of nor epinephrine. Nor epinephrine increases heat production in brown adipose tissue and induces vasoconstriction to reduce heat loss. In addition, acetylcholine stimulates the muscles to shiver, converting stored chemical energy into heat. Fever is part of the inflammatory response. When immune cells detect the presence of a pathogen, for example, upon binding to a component of bacterial cell walls, they produce inflammatory cytokines. Some of these cytokines are fever-inducers, or pyrogenic. Pyrogenic cytokines act within the hypothalamus to induce the synthesis of prostaglandin E2,PGE2, the major fever inducer.PGE2 acts on thermoregulatory neurons of the hypothalamus to raise the body’s temperature set point. In other words, PGE2 tricks the hypothalamus into thinking that the body is cold, while in fact the temperature did not change. In response, the hypothalamus instructs the body to actively produce heat to raise body temperature above normal. Fever-reducing medications, such as aspirin and ibuprofen, work by suppressing PGE2 synthesis. Once infection is cleared, pyrogens are no longer produced and the hypothalamic thermostatis set back to normal temperature. Cooling mechanisms, such as sweating and vasodilation, are activated to cool the body down. While fever is usually beneficial and need not be treated, precaution should be taken to prevent body temperature from running too high, which may cause confusion, seizures and irreversible damage to the brain. Finally, it is important to differentiate between fever and hyperthermia, the latter is often caused by extended exposures to extreme heat, or heat stroke. Unlike fever, the body’s temperature set point in hyperthermia is unchanged and the body does not produce the extra heat; its cooling system is simply exhausted and fails to compensate for the excessive external heating. Hyperthermia is always harmful and must be treated with various cooling methods. Fever-reducing medications have no effect on hyperthermia as pyrogens are not involved. Here are some short steps to manage or reduce fever: • Stay Hydrated Drink plenty of fluids like water, herbal teas, coconut water, or oral rehydration solutions to stay hydrated and prevent dehydration caused by the fever. • Cool Compress Apply a cool, damp cloth to your forehead, neck, or wrists to help bring down the body temperature. This provides relief from the heat. • Rest Your body needs energy to fight off the infection causing the fever, so it’s important to rest as much as possible. • Wear Light Clothing Wear lightweight and breathable clothing. This helps in regulating your body temperature. Avoid bundling up with heavy blankets unless you have chills. • Take Fever-Reducing Medication Over-the-counter medications like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) can help lower the fever. Follow the recommended dosage and consult a healthcare professional if necessary. • Lukewarm Bath Taking a lukewarm bath or sponge bath can help cool your body. Avoid using cold water, as it can cause shivering and increase your body temperature. • Monitor the Fever Keep track of the fever using a thermometer, especially if it is above 102°F (38.9°C) in adults or lasts more than 3 days. High or persistent fever should be addressed by a doctor. • Seek Medical Attention If the fever is very high, lasts more than a few days, or is accompanied by severe symptoms (such as difficulty breathing, chest pain, confusion, or persistent vomiting), it’s important to seek medical attention immediately.
