Fever is often dismissed as a minor symptom—but it’s a powerful sign that your body is fighting something deeper. At Patients Medical in New York City, we treat fevers not just by reducing temperature, but by exploring why it started—whether infection, inflammation, or immune imbalance. Our integrative care combines medical precision with functional and holistic strategies to restore balance and resilience to your immune system.
A fever is a regulated increase in body temperature (≥ 100.4°F or 38°C) in response to an underlying issue. It’s not a disease—it’s your body’s signal that something needs attention. Fevers can be:
If fever persists beyond 3 days, reaches 102°F+, or is accompanied by serious symptoms (e.g., shortness of breath, rash), immediate comprehensive evaluation is recommended.
Our functional medicine framework asks: Why does your immune system keep rallying? Possible contributors:
✅ Complete blood count (CBC) + inflammatory markers (CRP, ESR)
✅ Cytokine/immune panels
✅ Viral and tick-borne disease panels (e.g. Lyme, EBV, CMV)
✅ Gut health PCR/microbiome + leaky gut markers
✅ Heavy metal/toxin screening
✅ Hormone mapping (thyroid, cortisol, sex hormones)
✅ Nutritional assessments (micronutrients, vitamin D, zinc)
✅ Autoimmune markers (ANA, rheumatoid factor, anti-thyroid)
We don’t just suppress symptoms—we restore immune harmony and resilience.

Low-grade fevers can be therapeutic—but persistent or high fevers require evaluation to avoid complications.
