Viral infections and fever due to it are quite common as the season changes. We all are often troubled by this. Health experts say that fever is part of the body's immune response that helps keep you safe from infection and other serious conditions, which means that fever is not bad. However, if you have frequent fever, then be careful, it can also be a sign of some serious disease.

Fever is not a disease.

Dr. David Kipp, a pediatrician at US-based Banner Urgent Care, says, usually we all consider fever as a disease, but in reality, it is the body's protective reaction when there is a disease. It can be understood in this way that fever is a sign of the body, not a disease. It is often a sign of an infection. You can also have fever due to autoimmune disease, cancer, and inflammation related problems.

Even though fever is not considered a serious problem, frequent fever can be a cause of concern.
