Fever
Fever is a symptom of numerous illnesses and can be caused by many things. Fever may occur when infection or inflammation occurs in the body, brain, heart, or other organs. For example, if a person has an infection in their knee, it can cause fever, pain, and swelling around the infected area.
Generally, a fever is considered to be any temperature above 98.6°F (37°) Most people will experience a slight increase in temperature during exercise or after exercising vigorously for several hours straight.
However, if the fever persists for more than two days or is accompanied by any other unusual symptoms, a doctor should be consulted immediately. This needs immediate care because it could indicate something wrong with the body’s internal environment, which needs to be corrected before it becomes life-threatening.
