Definition :
Fever is defined as increased body temperature above the
normal range 98 °F (37.8 °C). Fever is an important defense mechanism against
infections in the body.
Any healthy person's normal body temperature raises and
falls between 97 °F (36.1 °C) and 100 °F (37.8 °C), with the average being 98.6
°F (37 °C). The body maintains stability within this range by balancing the
heat produced by the metabolism with the heat lost to the environment.
