10 Symptoms of Dysentery
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #4: Fever
Infections have the potential to cause havoc to the body. They can cause permanent physical damage and, in severe cases, they can even lead to death. With that in mind, the immune system does not like their presence in the body and will react to deal with the problem straightaway.
We have various defenses against infections, one of which is to raise a fever. This helps make the body so hot that the offending pathogen will struggle to survive. It is a line of defense that is often very effective and can literally save our lives; however, we may still need the support from antibiotics.
