2. Fever
Fever is the body’s natural way of trying to fight infection, and a higher-than-normal temperature means that your body is literally trying to create a living condition that would not be habitable for a virus. It’s your body’s first-line defence against any form of disease or infection. But though fevers are useful to the body when they happen, they can also be exceptionally dangers.
A fever puts extreme stress on the body and organs like the lungs and heart, and they could make your organs shut down. Yes, a fever can very well kill you. The first course of action for a fever is to bring the fever down and then to fight the infection that’s causing it. In most cases, a course of paracetamol is enough to break a fever – but if it isn’t, then you should rope in the help of a medical professional, especially if you suspect that the cause could be West Nile Virus.
