Today I am going talk about the Fever which will help you to
understand the mechanism and treatment of fever.
Whenever any micro organism i.e. Bacteria and Viruses enter
any person’s body, it reacts with increase in number of White blood cell (WBC) in
the blood. These WBCs fight against this micro organism and chemicals which are
produce during this fight give rise to fever.
The Symptomatic treatment for fever is paracetamol and tepid
sponging i.e. applying wet towels to the entire body and not only on the
forehead as shown in movies. Tepid sponging work on the simple principle of
physics that is the temperature moves from higher denomination to lower
denomination.
In children particularly the temperature should not rise
more than 100 °F as it may lead to convulsions.
In India, any fever with chills unless proved otherwise is
due to malaria. Evening rise of Fever with loss of appetite and loss of weight
may be due to TB.
The appropriate investigation and treatment should be given
in such cases.
