What does a body temperature of 39 degrees without any symptoms mean?

High body temperature (fever) is a common symptom of many diseases, a temporary increase in temperature, a protective reaction of the body, most often associated with infection and inflammation.

Body temperature can normally change during the day - be lower in the morning and higher in the afternoon and evening, varying between 36.1–37.2 ℃.

Fever in adults may be accompanied by the following symptoms: chills, increased sweating, headache, sore throat or ears, muscle and joint pain, swelling, local redness of the skin and joint pain, cough, difficulty breathing, loss of appetite, general malaise, weakness, fatigue, dehydration, irritability, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, trouble or painful urination, blood in urine or stool.

Fever in children may be accompanied by the following symptoms: persistent vomiting or diarrhea, abdominal pain, unusually colored discharge from the nose or eyes, headache, sore throat or ear pain, cough, difficulty breathing, skin rashes, continuous crying (in infants), loss of appetite, pale skin, dehydration (lack of tears when crying in babies, infrequent urination, dry skin and mucous membranes), febrile seizures (in children aged 6 months to 5 years), swelling, local redness of the skin and joint pain, stiffness (stiffness) of the neck muscles, difficulty or pain in urination, blood in the urine or stool, weakness, apathy, lack of response to external stimuli.

The most accurate temperature measurements are provided by oral and rectal thermometers (recommended for measuring temperature in infants). You can also measure temperature in the armpit. An elevated temperature in an adult is considered to be a temperature in the range of 37.2–37.5 ℃ (depending on the time of day), in a child - 37.2 ℃ (measured in the armpit), 37.5 ℃ (orally), 38 ℃ (rectal). ).

High temperature without symptoms - causes and treatment

Do you have a high fever without symptoms that cannot be cured? Do medications restore the indicator for a limited time? Are there any symptoms other than fever? You need a comprehensive examination of the body! High fever without symptoms in adults can be a sign of serious damage to organs and systems. A functional examination at the Altimed clinic will help determine the true cause of this process.

When to see a doctor immediately

Fever itself is not a cause for alarm. But there are exceptions Fever - Symptoms and causes. Seek immediate medical attention if you have a fever without symptoms:

• exceeded 38 °C in an infant under three months or 38.9 °C in a 3-6 month old child;
• reached 38.9 °C and lasts longer than a day in a child under two years old;
• arose after the child was left for a long time in a car parked in the sun;
• stays with the child for more than three days;
• rose above 39.4 °C in an adult.

All this speaks of conditions that threaten health and even life.

If there are no danger signs, a fever without symptoms may indicate some changes in your lifestyle and may soon subside on its own. But it is not exactly.

High temperature without symptoms - what is it?

A high fever without symptoms in adults causes some stupor. Especially if in general the person feels fine. If such a symptom appears, it is important to get comprehensive medical care. The cause of fever may be hidden in the inflammatory process, viral or bacterial damage to the body.

Possible provoking factors are:

• infection with coronavirus (in the first days of the disease, only an increase in temperature can be recorded);
• excessive bacterial load on the body;
• acute food allergy (the symptom of fever is rare, but such a condition is not excluded).

Changes in temperature indicators are accompanied by a number of reasons. In women, a similar phenomenon is associated with the phases of the menstrual cycle and is often recorded with hormonal disorders. A slight increase is observed in stressful situations, with adrenaline surges.

A temperature of 37 without symptoms is typical for the following conditions:

• weakened immunity;
• indolent infection;
• state after depression;
• venereal disease.

Elevated temperature without symptoms is often observed with heat stroke, cancer, systemic inflammatory processes in the body, infection, etc.

The hypothalamus is responsible for thermoregulation in the body; it works under the full control of the autonomic nervous and endocrine systems. If there is a malfunction on their part, a slight increase in temperature may be recorded. In any case, deviations from the norm indicate a problem in the body.

Thus, a temperature of 39 without symptoms in an adult may indicate the development of

• tonsillitis;
• pneumonia;
• kidney inflammation;
• rheumatism and even heart attack.

If the symptom does not resolve within a week and no other problems are noted, it is important to see a doctor. The doctor’s main task is to determine the true cause of the disorders and exclude serious pathologies.

Low-grade fever

Low-grade fever - between 37 and 38 degrees - would seem to be a less dangerous thing. However, it is often very difficult to bear, the person feels overwhelmed and exhausted. And the most unpleasant thing is that all this can continue for weeks.

Without a strong fever, in a “sluggish” mode, people with an impaired immune status, weakened people get sick - in this case, the body simply cannot adequately respond to the disease. Most often, a low temperature accompanies ARVI - after a cough and runny nose appear, the thermometer begins to show increasingly higher numbers, and the symptoms, of course, do not go away.

Other diseases that may be accompanied by low-grade fever and their symptoms:

• Exacerbations of chronic bronchitis (in this case, you will cough more than usual)
• Chronic sinusitis and sinusitis (headache, difficulty breathing through the nose)
• Asthma (cough, shortness of breath, shortness of breath)
• Pulmonary tuberculosis (unstoppable cough, possibly with blood in the sputum)
• Myocarditis (pain in the heart area)
• Chronic pyelonephritis (pain in the side, slight swelling)
• Inflammatory diseases of the genitourinary area - for example, cystitis (frequent and painful urination)
• Stomach and duodenal ulcers (abdominal pain after eating, blood in the stool)

When to contact Altimed MC

High temperature for no reason is the main indication for visiting the Altimed medical center. Innovative equipment combined with the high professionalism of doctors will help identify the disorder and develop an optimal treatment regimen.

If a symptom is detected in a child, you cannot hesitate! Get help right away! This action will identify the disorder at the initial stage of development and prevent serious complications.

Temperature 37.1 °C in a child

At a temperature of 37.1 °C in a child, if there are no other symptoms of health problems, in most cases natural causes can be assumed: excessively warm clothes, a hot room, active games, etc.1

But even if such a temperature is accompanied by a runny nose, loss of appetite and other signs of the onset of upper respiratory tract diseases, drastic measures should not be taken. With ARVI and influenza, an increase in body temperature can be considered a positive sign - this means that the immune system has been activated and has begun to fight pathogens1,4.

Therefore, all you need to do is consult a doctor and regularly measure your child’s temperature. And only when it rises to 38 °C should antipyretic drugs intended for children of a certain age group be taken1,4.

Cases from practice

Woman, 21 years old, student.

In December 2013, a young girl came to the clinic. For the last few months, my body temperature has constantly remained at 37.2-37.5. The physique is asthenic, the skin is pale, with excessive sweating, from time to time I felt hot. At times, the symptoms were accompanied by increased irritability and anxiety. I experienced headaches several times a week. I often experienced general weakness, melancholy, and dizziness.

First, the patient turned to a therapist, who prescribed her a series of examinations: general and biochemical analysis of urine and blood, X-ray of the lungs, ultrasound of internal organs, etc. The causes of the elevated temperature could not be identified. The doctor said that this was primary hyperthermia against the background of vegetative dystonia, that this was normal and would go away with age. You need to gain a little weight, walk more in the fresh air, rest, do physical exercise, you can take vitamins.

In this state, studying and working became more and more problematic: it was “difficult to understand,” I was constantly thirsty and, as a result, had to go to the toilet, and often needed to leave the room and go out into the fresh air. The girl’s parents were looking for options to alleviate this diagnosis and came to our clinic.

The autonomic disorder arose due to a stressful lifestyle and mild traumatic brain injury at the age of 14 years.

After two courses of treatment, the girl completely recovered.

Woman, 25 years old.

A young girl contacted us in 2015. Since February 2014, she began to experience panic attacks (vegetative crises).

About a year before the first attack of inexplicable fear, the girl underwent surgery under general anesthesia. Immediately after this, symptoms such as sleep disturbance and increased anxiety began to appear. In addition, with a strong psycho-emotional stress (“overworried”), the girl’s temperature rose to 37.5 degrees and could last for several hours.

The patient's general condition was characterized by constant anxiety and chills. The extremities were usually cold. I was worried about the heaviness in the neck area.

She underwent one course of treatment at the Clinical Center for Autonomic Neurology. Already during treatment, panic attacks stopped bothering me. Soon the patient noted a steady improvement in her condition. A month after the course, I felt completely healthy.
