Pyrexia, commonly known as fever, is an elevation in body temperature above the normal range, typically defined as a body temperature exceeding 100.4°F (38°C). Fever is often a sign that the body is responding to an infection, illness, or other medical condition. It is a common symptom and can serve as a defense mechanism, helping the body fight off pathogens by creating an environment less favorable for their growth. The causes of pyrexia are varied and include infectious diseases (bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic), inflammatory conditions (such as rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus), and other medical conditions like malignancies or heatstroke. Infections are the most common cause, with fever serving as a natural response to help the body combat the invading pathogens. Other causes can include medication side effects, reactions to vaccines, and certain chronic diseases. Symptoms of pyrexia are primarily related to the elevated body temperature and can include sweating, chills, shivering, headache, muscle aches, and general malaise. The specific symptoms may vary depending on the underlying cause of the fever. For instance, a fever associated with an infection might be accompanied by symptoms like sore throat, cough, or gastrointestinal issues, while a fever due to an inflammatory condition might be associated with joint pain or skin rashes. Treatment for pyrexia focuses on addressing the underlying cause of the fever and providing symptomatic relief. For infections, appropriate antibiotics or antiviral medications may be prescribed, depending on the causative pathogen. Over-the-counter medications such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen can help reduce fever and alleviate associated symptoms. Additionally, maintaining adequate hydration and rest are important in managing fever.
If fever is persistent, very high, or accompanied by severe symptoms such as confusion, difficulty breathing, or persistent vomiting, medical evaluation is necessary. A thorough assessment can help identify the underlying cause and guide appropriate treatment. Managing the underlying condition effectively is key to resolving the fever and improving overall health.
