High temperature without symptoms

Since childhood, we know that there is a normal temperature, and there is a “bad” one. Normal means a temperature of 36.6 degrees. Everything higher and lower indicates that something wrong is happening in the body.

The reasons for the increase in temperature can be quite innocent: for example, in women approximately in the middle of the cycle, when ovulation occurs. The thermometer readings may increase even after intense physical activity - this is normal. But sometimes the reasons are much more serious.

The first thing to do is to listen carefully to yourself and try to understand what else is bothering you besides the fever. The effectiveness of the treatment prescribed by the doctor will depend on how correctly you determine this. With a very high temperature (above 39 degrees), the condition can be very serious, and the best thing to do is to immediately call an ambulance. Intense fever can be accompanied by convulsions, short-term loss of consciousness, even delirium - in short, this is not a condition when it is enough to just lie down at home.

High temperature without symptoms - causes and treatment

Do you have a high fever without symptoms that cannot be cured? Do medications restore the indicator for a limited time? Are there any symptoms other than fever? You need a comprehensive examination of the body! High fever without symptoms in adults can be a sign of serious damage to organs and systems. A functional examination at the Altimed clinic will help determine the true cause of this process.

What temperature is considered elevated?

First, let's define the concepts. If you have 36.9 °C or even 37 °C, it is too early to talk about elevated temperature. Normal body temperature is not necessarily 36.6 °C. It varies within fairly wide limits.

Body temperature norms are considered normal: MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia range from 36.1 to 37.2 °C.

If the thermometer shows values above 37.2 °C, they speak of Fever fever. It is also elevated temperature, or simply temperature in the commonly used sense.

Most often this condition is caused by an infection. For example, viral - influenza or other common acute respiratory viral infections. In this case, in addition to fever, you will most likely find other signs of respiratory illness: sore throat, runny nose, headache.

However, it happens that there is a temperature, but there are no other symptoms - snot, nausea, rashes, lethargy, irritability. The reasons for this can be both harmless and deadly.

High temperature without symptoms - what is it?

A high fever without symptoms in adults causes some stupor. Especially if in general the person feels fine. If such a symptom appears, it is important to get comprehensive medical care. The cause of fever may be hidden in the inflammatory process, viral or bacterial damage to the body.

Possible provoking factors are:

infection with coronavirus (in the first days of the disease, only an increase in temperature can be recorded);
excessive bacterial load on the body;
acute food allergy (the symptom of fever is rare, but such a condition is not excluded).

Changes in temperature indicators are accompanied by a number of reasons. In women, a similar phenomenon is associated with the phases of the menstrual cycle and is often recorded with hormonal disorders. A slight increase is observed in stressful situations, with adrenaline surges.

A temperature of 37 without symptoms is typical for the following conditions:

weakened immunity;
indolent infection;
state after depression;
venereal disease.

Elevated temperature without symptoms is often observed with heat stroke, cancer, systemic inflammatory processes in the body, infection, etc.

The hypothalamus is responsible for thermoregulation in the body; it works under the full control of the autonomic nervous and endocrine systems. If there is a malfunction on their part, a slight increase in temperature may be recorded. In any case, deviations from the norm indicate a problem in the body.

Thus, a temperature of 39 without symptoms in an adult may indicate the development of

tonsillitis;
pneumonia;
kidney inflammation;
rheumatism and even heart attack.

If the symptom does not resolve within a week and no other problems are noted, it is important to see a doctor. The doctor’s main task is to determine the true cause of the disorders and exclude serious pathologies.

Low-grade fever

Low-grade fever - between 37 and 38 degrees - would seem to be a less dangerous thing. However, it is often very difficult to bear, the person feels overwhelmed and exhausted. And the most unpleasant thing is that all this can continue for weeks.

Without a strong fever, in a “sluggish” mode, people with an impaired immune status, weakened people get sick - in this case, the body simply cannot adequately respond to the disease. Most often, a low temperature accompanies ARVI - after a cough and runny nose appear, the thermometer begins to show increasingly higher numbers, and the symptoms, of course, do not go away.

Other diseases that may be accompanied by low-grade fever and their symptoms:

Exacerbations of chronic bronchitis (in this case, you will cough more than usual)
Chronic sinusitis and sinusitis (headache, difficulty breathing through the nose)
Asthma (cough, shortness of breath, shortness of breath)
Pulmonary tuberculosis (unstoppable cough, possibly with blood in the sputum)
Myocarditis (pain in the heart area)
Chronic pyelonephritis (pain in the side, slight swelling)
Inflammatory diseases of the genitourinary area - for example, cystitis (frequent and painful urination)
Stomach and duodenal ulcers (abdominal pain after eating, blood in the stool)

How to normalize temperature

The first aid to a person with a high body temperature should be the air he breathes. The optimal parameters for the patient's respiratory system are flow temperatures from 18˚C to 22˚C and humidity from 55% to 65%. This is what is more important than any medicine. Air entering the lungs replaces hot carbon dioxide molecules with cool oxygen molecules. If the patient feels chills, he needs to be dressed warmly, but he should breathe only cool and moist air.

Before taking antipyretics, you can use rubbing with cool compresses, if the patient’s condition allows, that is, when there is no trembling in the body.

Among the medications, two safe antipyretics can be distinguished:

ibuprofen;
paracetamol.

These components are found in all medications advertised as remedies for cold symptoms. Both medicines can be found both in the form of tablets and in the form of suppositories, as well as syrups. Children find it more pleasant to take syrup. But when vomiting prevents a person from taking the medicine, it is better to use suppositories intended for insertion into the rectum.

You can combine drugs. If paracetamol does not help bring down the temperature, you can give ibuprofen. It is important to remember that repeated use of the same drug is permissible no earlier than an hour and a half later.

A child can be given a second antipyretic, provided that an hour has passed since taking the first dose and the temperature has not dropped one degree. In this case, the second dose should consist only of another active substance. In other words, if an hour has passed after taking paracetamol and the situation has not changed, you can give an ibuprofen-based medicine.

Fever varies:

with the flow:
subacute (up to 6 weeks),

according to the degree of increase in the indicator:
febrile (from +38.0 to +39.0 degrees),
pyretic (from + 39.0 to +41.0 degrees),
hyperpyretic (over +41.0 degrees).
by type of temperature curve:
laxative (daily fluctuations up to 2 degrees),
atypical (oscillations are chaotic, varied and irregular),
debilitating (a combination of laxative and atypical fever with fluctuations during the day of more than 2-3 degrees),
intermittent (a combination of short-term periods of increase and decrease in temperature to normal values),
recurrent (alternating periods of temperature increase with periods of temperature normalization from 2 to 7 days).

According to the recommendation of the WHO (World Health Organization), antipyretic drugs are prescribed to children according to age:

from birth to 2 months at a temperature of +38.0 degrees,
children from 3 months to 24 months with a temperature of +38.5 degrees,
children from 1 to 5 years old with a temperature of +39.0 degrees,

When to see a doctor immediately

Fever itself is not a cause for alarm. But there are exceptions Fever - Symptoms and causes. Seek immediate medical attention if you have a fever without symptoms:

exceeded 38 °C in an infant under three months or 38.9 °C in a 3-6 month old child;
reached 38.9 °C and lasts longer than a day in a child under two years old;
arose after the child was left for a long time in a car parked in the sun;
