AI overview
A fever is when your body's temperature rises above normal because your brain's temperature control center increases its set point as part of your body's defense against infection. While there's no single agreed-upon definition of exactly where normal temperature ends and fever begins, this elevated temperature is an important sign that your immune system is responding to fight off illness.
