The Importance of Fever in Fighting Viruses & Bacteria

A fever is not just an uncomfortable symptom—it’s a powerful defense mechanism that helps your body fight off infections. When your body detects a virus or bacteria, it raises its temperature to create an inhospitable environment for pathogens while boosting immune function.

How Fever Helps Kill Germs

• Inhibits Pathogen Growth – Many viruses and bacteria struggle to survive at higher temperatures, slowing their replication.
• Enhances Immune Response – Fever stimulates the production of white blood cells, which attack and eliminate infections.
• Speeds Up Recovery – The increased body temperature accelerates metabolic processes, helping the immune system work more efficiently.
• Triggers Sweating & Detoxification – Fever encourages sweating, which helps flush out toxins and waste products.

Why You Shouldn’t Suppress a Mild Fever Too Quickly

While high fevers may require medical attention, mild to moderate fevers are beneficial and often don’t need immediate suppression. Overusing fever-reducing medications can interfere with the body’s natural ability to fight infections, potentially prolonging illness.

Supporting Your Body During a Fever

• Stay Hydrated – Drink plenty of water, herbal teas, and electrolyte-rich fluids to prevent dehydration.
• Rest & Sleep – Allow your body to focus its energy on healing.
• Use Natural Cooling Methods – Lukewarm baths, damp cloths, and fresh air can help regulate temperature without stopping the fever’s benefits.
• Nourish with Light Foods – Broths, fruits, and easily digestible meals support recovery.
• Skin to Skin –  I have found that when my kids have a fever, sometimes the best thing to do is just to lay together skin to skin so that I can help to absorb their fever for them!

A fever is your body’s way of fighting back, and allowing it to run its course—while staying hydrated and monitoring symptoms—can help you recover faster and strengthen your immune system.
