The mainstream view is that fever is a symptom of infection by a pathogen.
An alternate theory is that the immune system, upon sensing an infection, raises the body temperature. The purpose is to slow down reproduction of a bacterium or replication of a virus, so that the T-cells can devour them, without being inundated.
If a fever is less than 103 F, does it pose any danger to the body? If not, then why reduce it?
Haven't we all heard the expression that someone's fever "broke," and that he's feeling better now? Doesn't it make sense to monitor temperature, and, if the fever doesn't spike too high, let it run its course?
Modern medicine focuses on symptomatic relief. Is this a mistake?
