Why do some people develop very high fever while others don't?!
Question:
Why do some people develop very high fever while others don't?
while having the same disease? I saw 2 young boys today, both had the flu, started the same day, both are healthy, but one developed 103° fevers while the other remained just half a degree above. I know we are all different, but is there a scientific explanation to it?
Answers:
Bsically, the scientific explanation IS that we are all different. Medical science can only explain so much; it is not like we can magically say WHY one of your boys is running a higher fever than the other. It is just due to individual biochemistry and differences in the way the body reacts to an illness.
