fever comes in many kind of form such as football fever, dengue fever and also the most famous which is the saturday night fever.... to know if u have a fever, u need a thermometer.... u can either use an oral thermometer (to put under ur tongue), an axilla thermometer (to put under ur armpit, make sure shave first, and last but not least, the rectal thermometer (for those who enjoy poking ur own ass)..... some other can also be consider like the ear thermometer..... when ur body temperature is almost above 37.8 degree celcius, u are most likely suffering from a fever....
how does fever occurs??
basically, to keep our body functioning, we need a certain range of temperature to be alive and kicking (unless if u're a robot/cyborg).... therefore, ur body temperature is control by a part/region of ur brain called the hypothalamus... these hypothalamus collects information from all over ur body about the temperature and will adjust to the heat being produce or lost throughout ur daily activities.... therefore, with the existence of bacteria/virus in our blood cell, it will activate the signalling cell called the cytokines... these cytokines will then send a signal to the immune cells such as T-cells and macrophages to travel to the infected area.... as bacteria/viruses can grow in small range of temperature, a fever will occur to keep ur body temperature high as they cannot grow very fast and can be destroyed faster.... hence, fever will then activate ur body's immune system to make more white blood cell, antibodies and other infection-fighting agent..... therefore, god is so great, he created virus, and he also created antibodies to fight off these virus..... so atleast we know after all, how does our body works, right!!!! oh yah, another issue, some of us fear that having a fever might cause a brain damage to a child... however, this will unlikely occur unless if the fever is dangerously high.... sometimes a fever can trigger a seizure(fits) in a child, in another word, they call it febrile convulsion (febrile seizure). this is not dangerous by itself, and does not result in any brain damage, it is important to bring ur child to see a doctor/medical officer everytime a fever occurs so that they can try and work out the cause of the fever. so when u're having fever, dont give excuses that u cant think because its got nothing to do with the brain, unless if from the time u were born, u are declared brainless!!!! aite... cheers~

I would like to leave this city
This old town don't smell too pretty and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
And when I leave this island I'll book myself into a soul asylum
Cos I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
So here I go, I'm still scratching around the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind is very old
So what do you say? You can give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away
Half the world away
Half the world away
I've been lost, I've been found but I don't feel down.
And when I leave this planet
You know I'd stay but I just can't stand it and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
And if I could leave this spirit I'd find me a hole and I'll live in it cos
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
So here I go still scratching around in the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind if very old
So what do you say? You can give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away
Half the world away
Half the world away
I've been lost, I've been found but I dont feel down
No I dont feel down
No I dont feel down
I dont feel down
I dont feel down
I dont feel down
I dont feel down
