A fever is a sign that the body is fighting an infection. It’s usually accompanied by other symptoms such as chills, body aches, a sore throat, headaches, fatigue, and loss of appetite. A fever is typically a sign of a viral or bacterial infection, but it can also be caused by a number of other conditions such as autoimmune disorders or cancer. It’s important to see a doctor if you have a fever that persists for more than a few days, as it may be a sign of something more serious.
