In the last 2-4 years various types of fevers with funny names are becoming common in our land. With every year they change their names and attcking patterns. Whats is the truth behind this?
The most common symptom is fever. Only the symptom combinations change with every mutant.
Basically fever is a rise in body temperature. The body temperature is regulated by our hypothalamus, not by the micro organisms that enter our body. But why does our body temperature rises?
Whenever an external pathogen or antigen enters our system, the defence system in our body triggers into action. Along with the lymphocytes (T-cells, B-cells and NK cells), neutrophils, and monocytes/macrophages, the complement system, the lymphatic system, the spleen, the thymus, and the bone marrow together become part of our immune system.
But sometimes micro organisms can survive in our normal body temperature 98.6 F. By increasing the temperature, our immune system will create an environment where micro organisms cannot survive.
Our immune system will demand the hypothalamus to increase the body temperature. Not only that, it will dictate the brain to shut down all activity except life saving mechanisms. Then suddenly, we will have distaste in our mouth, dryness, weakness, drowsiness, body pain etc. Our body intelligence is asking us to stop eating and lie down peacefully, to conserve energy for the successful eradication of external micro organisms.
But in modern world, what we do is exactly opposite. We will take some tablet and suppress fever, pain and congestion. We will eat whatever we want and go for work. This will crumble down our immune system. The virus or bacteria will flourish in our organ systems and finally secondary infection sets in. Finally we will end up in some hospital ICU.
If you follow the body language sensibily, you will never die of fever or develop any complications after a fever episode.
Our human intelligence and body is a marvelous technology. Nobody should die of fever. Fever is our gift not a curse.
But people who are immunocompromised and taking immunosuppresants should consult their physicians.
Micro organisms mutate very often. With every varient there will be changes. Vaccine developed for one varient may not be useful for the next varient. So vaccination for fever is not a foolproof solution. Most of the vaccinations available now are not proven ones. We dont know what complications will develop 10 years after the vaccination.
We have a foolproof system with us. Trust in our body and body intelligence. Listen to our body language and obey the body intelligence. Nothing will happen.
Fever is a gift, because during fever, not only the pathogens, but the defective cells, decayed cells and unwanted cells are also burnt down. You should feel more energetic and youthful after a fever episode. If you genuinely follow the body language, no fever will last more than 48-72 hours.
