Fever, also known as fever, refers to a situation in which pyrogens directly act on the body temperature regulation center, dysfunction of the body temperature center, or various reasons leading to excessive heat production and reduced heat dissipation, causing the body temperature to rise beyond the normal range. Everyone's normal body temperature is slightly different and is affected by factors such as time, season, environment, and menstruation. It is generally believed that a fever occurs when the oral temperature is higher than 37.5°C, the axillary temperature is higher than 37°C, or the temperature difference within a day is more than 1°C. Fever is the most common clinical symptom and an important clinical manifestation in the progression of the disease. It can be seen in a variety of infectious and non-infectious diseases. However, sometimes a rise in body temperature is not necessarily caused by disease. In some cases, there may be a physiological rise in body temperature, such as strenuous exercise, premenstrual period and pregnancy, entering a high temperature environment or taking a hot bath, etc., which can make the body temperature slightly higher than usual. These can return to normal through self-regulation.
