Abstract
We've been hearing for centuries that 'fever is not a disease, but a symptom.' Physicians say that fever is a symptom of diseases such as flu and cancer. The definition, diagnosis and treatment of conservative fever is based on fever as a symptom. All studies related to fever as a symptom of a disease have been conducted without knowing the purpose of fever temperature. Without knowing the purpose o f fever temperature, how can fever be included in the definition of symptoms? Can temperatures between 38o and 41o centigrade be a symptom of a disease? Different causes of illness never show the same symptoms. Different causes of diseases like viruses, ba cteria, fungi, poison, horror scene, horror dreams, rarely present the same symptoms
