Intermittent Fever

Intermittent fever is a medical condition in which the body temperature rises and falls in cyclical recurrent patterns. It is characterized by short episodes of high temperature (usually above 38 °C) and long episodes of low temperature (usually below 37 °C). Intermittent fever is usually a symptom of another underlying medical condition and can be caused by a variety of conditions such as infection, allergy, autoimmune disease, or even cancer. Its diagnosis is essential for proper treatment and for preventing further health complications. For example, if an infection is identified, intermittent fever can be treated with antibiotics. If an underlying condition is identified, then more sophisticated treatments may be necessary.
