Fever : Provides a good acute symptom for the homeopath.

- BOUKO LEVY M., Homeopathic and Drainage Repertory,
 Fever is a body's natural reaction to a challenge from a pathogen and provides a good acute symptom for the homeopath.
 Its progression must not be impeded, except when it rises over 38°5 C in the child and 39° C in the adult.
 It is surprising to see that some people never have much of a fever, and others have a fever that rises up to 40° C very quickly.
 The behavior of the patient is made up of a multitude of general and mental symptoms and fever is one of the essential general symptoms.
