3. Fever
Fever is the body’s natural immune response to infection, and if you have a fever it’s likely that you have some type of underlying infection in your body and the fever is just your immune system’s way of trying to create an environment that’s unpleasant for the virus or bacteria – unfortunately, fever itself is considered to be a dangerous symptom, especially if the fever continues for too long left untreated.
It’s vital that you seek medical attention for a fever instead of attempting to treat the condition yourself: Some home treatments for fever (like a cold bath of water) can instead cause the body to go into severe shock and place too much strain on the heart.
If you’re running a fever or experiencing night sweats, the best thing you can do is to make an appointment with your doctor to find out the root cause of the symptom.
