Fever Your Body's Natural Defense

🌡️ Fever: Your Body’s Natural Defense 🌡️ Dr. Alan Lindemann (Rural Doc Alan) explains: 💡 Fever isn’t the enemy—it’s protection. A fever is your body’s natural way of fighting off viruses and bacteria. It signals that your immune system is doing its job. 🔥 When to worry: Fever over 104°F → time to take Tylenol to reduce it. Fever above 105–106°F for a prolonged time → can start damaging cells and interfering with normal body function. ✅ For most mild fevers (101–102°F), your body is simply defending itself. 💬 “Remember, the fever isn’t the problem—it’s the body’s way of fighting one.” Dr. Alan Lindemann is an obstetrician with 4 decades of medical practice primarily in North Dakota.
