how does the fever is produced? ...and where? (human body)?

These are all good answers. The one thing that I find useful when thinking about this is that body temperature is tightly controlled around specific target temperatures, or set points, like a thermostat controls room temperature. Fever is an adjustment upward of the set point. The control is still there, the target temperature has just been elevated. In some instances, the set point can be raised too high, or control seems to be lost, but generally the body manages the response well.

A really hot shower if you could take one just before the taking of the temperature, if found the best way to get out of school is to fake throwing up, or throw up etc, fever is a toughy

you really need to go to the ER asap. the high temperature can cause you serious problems if you dont get it down. since it went away and then came back it shows that it is still in your system,you need antibotics seriously. you dont wanna harm your body.

if you get sick then there is not necessarily bacteria but some virus making you sick, you dont get sick just because God thinks its funny and actually the temp and all that dont have anything to do w/it you have to pick up a virus or a "bug" its just that they are more abundant in those settings and   because those settings bring down your immune system also because theres  more work for it to do in the winter time or allergy season.

You could raise your internal temperature by dressing in heavy clothes, but your internal thermometer will remain normal - and you will sweat in an effort to maintain a normal temp.  \n\nOn the other hand when you are ill your body resets its temperature (thought to be a defensive mechanism to help fight infection several ways).  In that case you can bundle up and sometimes are still feeling chilled.  What happens when you break a fever...you sweat, cooling your body, bringing it back to normal temp.

By getting sick. Most likely pnuemonia.

I've never had a fever, but I have had chills after a marathon.  While you're running the race, you're body is generating heat.  If it's a slightly chilly day, then when you finish, your body has a lot of sweat on it, which quickly cools and can gives you chills.  If you're not careful after wards, you could experience hypothermia due to the quick heat loss.  Make sure you immediately put your sweats back on, as soon as you finish, or have someway to get warm.  I got the chills last year, after finishing a marathon (it was cool, and I didn't get my sweats on right after finishing).  This year, just barely after I finished, I put my sweats on, and never experienced the chills (and it was just as chilly as last year).\n\nI hope your brother is feeling better by now, and congratulate him on finishing his marathon!

you mean like the fact that it sweats when you are hot to cool the body? it is your body's largest organ, and it sheilds the rest of the body from dirt and disease by providing a barrier between them and germs.

Whewwww, makes me hot and cold at the same time just thinking about it, good question though. Probably freezing, it would take longer but the idea of my flesh burning off is kind of disgusting. Guess the smoke from the fire would kill me first, but not factoring that into the equation.

"Stages of Hypothermia in humans\n\n    * Stage 1 - Body temperature drops 1-2 °C (1.8-3.6 °F, or between 99 - 95 degrees F - mild Shivering occurs. Normal shivering can begin, unable to perform complex tasks with hands, shiver may be mild to severe, hands numb. Blood vessels in outer extremities contract, lessening heat loss to the outside air. Breathing becomes quick and shallow. Goose bumps form, to raise body hair on end in an attempt to create an insulating layer of air around the body.\n\n    * Stage 2 - Body temperature drops 2-4 °C (3.6-7.2 °F, or between 95 - 90 degrees F) - Shivering becomes more violent. Muscle coordination becomes apparent, movements slow and labored, stumbling pace, mild confusion, but may appear alert. Surface blood vessels contract further as the body focuses its remaining resources on keeping the vital organs warm. Victim becomes pale. Lips, ears, fingers and toes may become blue.\n\n    * Stage 3 - Body temperature drops below approx 32.2 °C (90 °F, 305.2 K) (normal is 37 °C, 98.6 °F, or between 90 - 86 degrees F). Violent shivering persists, difficulty speaking, sluggish thinking, amnesia starts to appear, unable to use hands, stumbling. Cellular metabolic processes shut down. Below 86 degrees F Shivering stops, exposed skin blue to puffy, muscle coordination very poor, inability to walk, incoherent/irrational behavior to stupor, pulse ands resperation rates much decreased. Major organs fail. Clinical death occurs."\n\nthis, and more on hypothermia, from Wikipedia, the free, online encyclopedia:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothermia\n\nHope this helps!

A fever is any temperature that is above normal. What a normal temperature is will depend on where it is taken. In the mouth, a normal temperature is 98.6° F; under the arm, normal is 98° F; by rectum, it is 100° F. \n \n What Do I Do? \n \n If you believe your child has a fever: \n \n  Take her temperature. \n \n  Give acetaminophen (Infants' or Children's Tylenol®) if the temperature is over 100° F by mouth, 99° F under arm, 101° F by rectum. See dosing chart below. \n \n  Give acetaminophen (Infants' or Children's Tylenol®) every four hours while there is a fever, but no more than five times in a 24-hour period. \n \n  Keep her cool. Dress a baby in a diaper and shirt; dress a child in lightweight clothing. \n \n  Give her large amounts of fluids—a child with a fever usually likes ice chips, juice, water, soda or tea. \n \n  Sponge or bathe your child with barely warm water for about 20 minutes for a temperature of 103° F by mouth, 102° F under arm or 104° F by rectum. \n \n Should My Child See A Doctor? \n \n Sometimes a child will need medicine to treat an infection. It is important for a doctor to see the child if he: \n \n  Is under 2 months old. \n \n  Is extremely irritable or excessively sleepy. \n \n  Has difficulty breathing or breathes fast. \n \n  Complains of neck pain or holds the neck in an unusual way. \n \n  Has a seizure (convulsion). \n \n  The temperature is not normal after two days of acetaminophen (Infants' or Children's Tylenol®). \n \n  Develops a rash. \n \n  Pulls at his or her ear or complains of ear pain. \n \n  Has not wet a diaper or urinated in 12 hours. \n \n  Lips, tongue and lining of the mouth are dry and dull. \n \n  Complains of a sore throat. \n \n   Amount to Give Dosing Chart\nfor Acetaminophen (Infant's or Children's TYLENOL©  Infant's Concentrated Drops\n80 mg/0.8 ml  Children's Suspension Liquid and Elixir\n160 mg/5 ml  Children's Chewable Tablets\n80 mg each  Junior Strength Chewable Tablets/ Caplets\n160 mg each  \nDose dropper teaspoon tablet tablet/ caplet \nWeight  Age      \n6-11 lbs  0-3 mos  *     \n12-17 lbs  4-11 mos  *  *    \n18-29 lbs  12-23 mos  *  *    \n25-35 lbs  2-3 yrs  2  1  2   \n36-47 lbs  4-5 yrs   1 1/2  3   \n48-59 lbs  6-8 yrs   2 4 2 \n60-71 lbs  9-10 yrs   2 1/2  5  2 1/2  \n72-95 lbs  11 yrs   3  6  3  \n96 lbs +  12 yrs     4  \n * = consult physician \n \n \n \n What Shouldn't I Do? \n \n If your child has a fever: \n \n  Do not use an alcohol bath to sponge or bathe the child. \n \n  Do not use an ice water bath to sponge or bathe the child. \n \n  Do not overdress the child. \n \n  Do not use adult acetaminophen for young children under age 5. \n \n  Do not worry if the child is not eating. Liquids are important. \n \n  Do not give acetaminophen (Infants' or Children's Tylenol®) more than five times in 24 hours. \n \n Could It Be Prevented? \n \n  Do not expose the child to people who are ill. \n \n  There is no way to prevent a fever. However, it is important to give the child acetaminophen (Infants' or Children's Tylenol®) to control the fever.

Okay: it's simple. Your blood chills when you suddenly get cold, right? Well, you get cold whenever your body temperature drops. Your body temperature drops during certain emotional activity in your brain. One emotion: fright. There you go! Or, i could answer like a complete jackass by saying a ghost is trying to possess you, but I'm not going to.   :)

It keeps your body hydrated, especially if you have a fever you may not realize it but you're burning off some body water by sweating (if even just a little bit).\n\nPlus, certain unwanted viruses/bacteria can be gotten rid of if you drink a lot and go to the bathroom. (I was trying not to be gross there)

There are several reasons body temperature can change quickly.  Hormonal upsets like hot flashes, lupus, illness/virus/infection/fever, thyroid malfunction all are causes.  Weather and exercise can also change temperature in the body.  Heatstroke and shock and make temperatures drop too.\n\nI would say, and I'm not a doctor, that you need to have a physical with a complete blood workup to test for thyroid, white blood count, lupus, and then go from there to see what the doctor thinks.
