Symptom #7: Fever
Fever occurs when there is an increase in the set point of body temperature resulting in muscle contractions and a feeling of coldness. This causes the body to increase the production and conservation of heat.
There are many causes of fever such as infections (bacterial, viral, parasitic), appendicitis, vasculitis, side effect of medications, deep vein thrombosis, and cancer. Medications such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and paracetamol (acetaminophen) can be beneficial to help lower temperature.
