About
When temperature of the body rises, it is called fever. Fever comes due to the inflammation in any portion of the body or by mixing poison in the blood. Fever that comes again after one time is called intermittent fever. The fever, which sustains all the time and temperature does not come down, is called remittent or continuous fever. The fever which rises again after coming down once is called half or sub-remittent fever.
Fever indicates that there is any type of infection in the body. Normal temperature of the body is 98.6 F or 36 degree centigrade. The temperature of the body can be measured by putting thermometer in mouth or armpit.
