It's called 'pyrexia' or 'febrile response'. Even for a common fever, it's always better to get it checked by a doctor, especially if it's high or lasts long. Don't just ignore it, safety first always.

Pyrexia, I think. Or like, a febrile condition. Honestly, when I have fever, I just wanna sleep all day and drink chai. But if it's bad, definitely see a doc.

The medical term is 'pyrexia'. A fever is the body's way of fighting something. Rest and keeping calm, maybe some light breathing exercises if you feel up to it, can support the body. Consult a doctor for proper diagnosis.

It's pyrexia. And let me tell you, when I have pyrexia, all I want is sleep. But with my current schedule, sleep is a myth. So I just suffer and wish for a magic pill, lol.

Arre, that's just 'pyrexia'. Matlab, bukhar. It means your body is fighting something. Drink lots of fluids, take rest. If it's high, go to the doctor, don't be lazy.
