I'm still down with a fever today. :( i felt like something was wrong with my body since last week. I didn't have the appetite to eat. I woke up in the middle of the night with difficulty going back to sleep. Yesterday was worse but the fever is under control now since I have panadol to treat it. I think I have to see the doc if the fever comes again tomorrow.
But, most commonly, fever is caused by an infection. The body's immune system senses the "foreign invader" -- such as bacteria or a virus -- and sends a chemical message to the temperature center instructing it to crank up the heat inside the body. This has many advantages:From http://children.webmd.com/guide/infant-fever
Some bacteria and viruses don't like the higher temperature and are then more easily destroyed by the immune system. The higher body temperature helps the body to ward off the infection.
In this way, fever is actually our friend: It lets us know that an infection may be brewing, and it helps to fight off the infection.
Well, I still hope the fever gets away soon.
