Changes in body temperature can be caused by many different reasons. One of the common ones is what we called fever marked by an increase in body temperature to more than 36.9 ‘ C. Fever can be a sign of either infection or inflammation in our body. And this is also a part of our body defence mechanism.
Monitoring your body temperaturecould be life savingOne with a very high body temperature may need immediate medical attention for treatment such as fluid administration or antibiotics or any other intervention.
Monitoring body temperature especially in children can be crucial as they can get very sick with simple illnesses like cold and flu. A very high fever may cause brain damage to children more easily compared to adults.
What should you do to lower your body temperature if you are having a fever?
Besides taking over-the-counter medicationlike ibuprofen or paracetamol, here are few things you can do to lower your fever.
- Keep yourself hydrated. Drink plenty of plain water.
- Do not cover too much.Let your body cool and remove extra layers of blankets and covers

Please see a doctor if your fever is worsening or if you are having any other alarming symptoms.
