CIMA Medical Center in Miami Springs shares some of their health expertise with some helpful information to identify different types of fever.
INTERMITTENT FEVER
This fever has a fluctuating baseline between normal temperatures and fever levels over the course of the day.
REMITTENT FEVER
This type of fever may come and go, and temperature fluctuates, but though it falls, it never falls all the way back to normal.
HECTIC FEVER
Either an intermittent or a remittent fever is considered hectic if the temperature range swings widely throughout the day, with a difference of at least 1.4 degrees Celsius between the highest and lowest temperatures.
CONTINUOUS FEVER
Also called a “sustained” fever, this is a prolonged fever with little or no change in temperature over the course of a day.
RELAPSING
This is a type of intermittent fever that spikes up again after days or weeks of normal temperatures. This type of fever is common with animal bites and diseases like malaria.
If you have a fever over 104 degrees Fahrenheit, you need to schedule an appointment with your doctor immediately.
