Fever is the body’s natural defense response to bacteria or viruses entering. During a fever, the body raises its temperature to create an environment in which germs are weak. If the fever is very high or lasts several days, a doctor should be seen. For a child under three months, any fever needs an urgent visit to the doctor.
