As a layman who didn’t finish high school, this was really interesting and you made it very easy to understand. Fascinating and thanks for the upload!

Thank you so much. Our professor managed to make physiology the most boring module in medicine so you're my new physiology professor now :)

2nd yr RN here, So just to clarify, a fever must involve a change of hypothalamic set-point. The pyrogen controlled hypothalamic set-point is what defines what is and what a fever and what is not. Some cancers, heavy metal poisoning or even exercise induced hyperthermia may involve a raised body temperature, without a change in hypothalamic set-point, therefore these conditions would not be a fever or febrile. Can you clarify my understanding?

Hello, can fevers be self limited? Or specific to a body part? I have been feeling that my head is warmer than normal and l havs been having flu symptoms.

I took my temp. under my arm 3 times, twice yesterday and once today. All three were under 99° F but then l took it under the tongue today after putting the digital thermometer inside a bag in case it wasn't 100% clean from previous axillary use. It got to 100.1° F although l tried to not exhale because l knew I have been exhaling hot air.

I tested at home for Covid concerned about all the mucus l have been coughing and it was negative. My mother did the hand to forehead and agreed it was a fever. She mentioned an infection, but l thought a fever included the whole body temp. Does seriousness of the issue determine how big the fever is, body or specific? 🤔

2:22 So if temperature through a catheter is more accurate, why not make catheters with an embedded temperature reading device so that any patient who already has a catheter inserted can easily have an accurate temperature reading?

thanks a lot . I HAVE A QUESTION PLEASE THE FEVER IS AN IMMUNE REACTION HELPS TO DESTROY GERMS BUT GIVEN MEDICATIONS WILL REDUCE IT SO SHOULD WE GIVE THEM ANTI BIOTICS
