Strategy for using antipyretics

Fever is the result of a violation of thermoregulation. The direct cause of fever is infectious diseases and inflammatory proces-ses. The severity of fever does not always correlate with the severity of the disease. In most cases, fever has a short and mild course and a protective effect on the body. Research results have shown that fever has a beneficial effect on certain components of the immune system. Some data indicate that fever really helps to recover faster from viral diseases, although it is accompanied by discomfort. Fever is a protective and adaptive reaction of the body that occurs in response to the action of pathogenic stimuli. It is characterized by a restructuring of thermoregulation processes, which lead to an increase in body temperature and stimulate the body’s natural reactivity.
