Fever have any effect on the human body


It is generally known as the abnormal increase of body temperature heat. Fever beneficial or harmful to the patient then? Long-term study in this issue constantly. Some people think that fever is the body resistance and the elimination of a pathogen defense response; It was also suggested that increased temperature will bring about many adverse effects on the human body.

Medical research has shown that the current heat is the beginning of many diseases a defensive reaction, may enhance the ability of anti-infective organism, such as antibodies against the bacteria have increased; to enhance the elimination of toxins within the body of leukocyte enzyme activity and liver detoxification of toxins, etc. in order to resist some of pathogenic micro-organisms attack on the human body and to promote the body back to health.
But the heat on the human body there are certain hazards. If the high fever continued for too long can the human body organs, tissues of the regulatory function of disorders, thereby endangering the health of children. Fever adverse effects on the human body, mainly in the following areas:
Fever so that ingestion of a variety of human nutrient metabolism in the body increased, and by fast, thereby greatly increasing the body's oxygen consumption, increase the body's organs work load, can lead to serious organ failure.
1, of fever, the human body produce too much heat, heat the body must be accelerated in order to adjust the temperature as much as possible, thus leading to faster heart rate, increase the burden on the heart.
2, high fever so the cerebral cortex may also be over-excited children can be manifested as irritability, headache, or convulsions; cerebral cortex may also be caused by a high degree of inhibition, manifested as delirium, drowsiness, coma and so on. Infants and young children become more prominent, and the majority of infants and young children when heat trance mind, there are some emerging high fever in infants with febrile convulsion. High fever and convulsion may be the brain development of infants and young children have an adverse effect.
3, high fever can also affect human digestion. Sometimes slow gastrointestinal movement, patients loss of appetite, abdominal distension, constipation; sometimes the gastrointestinal tract movement enhancement, the patient suffered from diarrhea or dehydration.
4, sustained high fever disease eventually led to the human body's ability to decrease defense, so not only is not conducive to the resumption of the disease, but increased the risk of infection secondary to the other.
Understanding of the heat of the adverse effects in children, on the one hand, parents can know that high fever in children at the same time in which abnormal performance, on the other hand, may be the basis of these performance with appropriate care, and do not panic. In addition, during fever in children, parents of children in carefully measured the temperature at the same time, should examine the patient's face is pale, breathing is faster, with or without nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, changes in the availability of mind, and whether or not the occurrence of convulsions If such a situation should immediately go to hospital for treatment.
