10 Salmonella Poisoning Symptoms
7. Fever
When we fall ill, there is a good chance that we will get a fever. As unpleasant as a fever can be, they are actually very beneficial for us because they help to fight against pathogens. Fevers are effective because they heat up the body to temperatures that are beyond the comfort zones of pathogens.
It is not usually necessary to treat a fever – the symptom will likely run its course in due time. However, medication like paracetamol can help to at least reduce your temperature a little. Bear in mind that fevers can be dangerous, and medical assistance should be sought if they go too high.
