Thanks, sqad... if lowering the temperature doesn't affect the length of an illness, what is the point in getting one? It's supposed to help...
Rising temperature stimulates the immune system to fight the disease, but unfortunately makes the patient feel ill.
When the temperature falls due to the antipyrhetics, the immune system doesn't just switch off, it continues until the invading process is conquered, or you die.
it is a pity that this thread has been almost entirely about sweating in disease, when the main function of sweating is in healthy individuals.
It is the main method of thermoregulation of the body and amounts to about one litre a day without one knowing anything about it.......insensible sweat it is called.
