Fever in Children: Causes
How does fever occur?
Fever occurs when the hypothalamus resets the normal temperature point to a higher level. Although the body is still working to balance the heat produced with the heat which it releases, since the set-point is now higher, the body temperature rises.The increase in body temperature occurs for various reasons, such as release of certain chemicals called cytokines in response to invading microorganisms, cancer cells, or any other foreign matter. It is also in response to the body producing white blood cells and antibodies to protect it from the invading foreign matter.
