Not only is a fever very uncomfortable, but it can also be very dangerous. If your fever reaches 103 degrees, you should go see a doctor right away. But if you haven't got to that stage yet, there are some steps you can take to bring your fever down. An increase in body temperature of one or two degrees generally means a fever, which indicates that the body's self-regulation temperature point has increased. The brain then activates heat effector mechanisms, which included shivers and the releases of hormones such as epinephrine.
