We usually tend to panic and the first action taken is to control or lessen the rising temperature with anti-pyretic. Should we do that or not ? Let us understand:
Fever medically known as pyrexia is the most common reason of visit to a doctor worldwide, especially in children. But, do you really need to hit the panic button with fever everytime?
Fever/Pyrexia simplified means the body’s defensive reaction to the infective invasion.
Fever occurs in range of diseases from simple acute causes to auto immune diseases.
each time the equillibrium of the body that is the self regulating mechanism in our complex being is disturbed the body’s own defence system is activated and thus is acts – in turn which due to various bio-chemical rise in body temperature takes place.
Now, this mechanism is actually trying to help body fight the cause and not adding to the cause.
When we consume anti-pyretics to lessen or control the fever we actually are somehow suppressing the natural reaction of body or in other words conditioning the body not to fight for itself!
Thus as a consequence the cause, the disease will spread faster and extensively without any outer sign of rise in temperature and the patient will land up with a more advanced illness.
In all cases we need to identify the cause first which can vary from simple infection to deep chronic illness to some emotional/mental cause. Once the cause is treated fever will go!
But if just the fever is treated the cause will worsten!
Fevers needs to be managed when they are too high say 103 or more and remains consistently as there are risk of epilepsy and other conditions are involved with such persistent high grade fever but the cause must be treated first.
