Increased Body Temperature01:25

Increased Body Temperature

667
A body temperature above  38°C  (100.4 °F) is known as fever or pyrexia, and a person with fever is termed 'febrile.' Typically, the hypothalamus, a part of the brain that acts as the body's thermostat, regulates body temperature through a thermoregulatory setpoint. It receives signals from cold and warm thermal receptors throughout the body and adjusts the body's temperature accordingly. Fever occurs when this hypothalamic setpoint is altered, usually in...

Methods of reducing fever01:22

Methods of reducing fever

662
The signs and symptoms of fever include hot and dry skin, flushed face, thirst, muscle aches, anorexia, headache, tachycardia, tachypnea, and fatigue. Elevated body temperature is reduced using two methods: pharmacological and nonpharmacological. Proper identification and treatment of the root cause of a fever is of utmost importance.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Subacute thyroiditis (SAT) is an inflammatory thyroid condition.
  • SAT can present with symptoms overlapping other thyroiditis types, including fever, neck pain, and thyroid enlargement.
