"Delaying Medication for Fever: The Benefits According to New Research"

New research from the University of Alberta suggests that allowing a mild fever to run its natural course may have health benefits, as untreated moderate fever in fish helped clear infections rapidly and controlled inflammation. The researchers believe that similar benefits are likely to occur in humans due to shared fever mechanisms across the animal kingdom. The study sheds light on the mechanisms that contribute to the benefits of moderate fever, which has been evolutionarily conserved across the animal kingdom for 550 million years.
