The cause of cold and fever is the excessive heat production and reduced heat dissipation caused by the dysfunction of the thermoregulatory center under the action of pyrogen, thus the body temperature rises above the normal range.
Fever caused by colds may be due to exogenous pyrogens such as viruses or bacteria invading the body, resulting in inflammatory cells in the body to produce endogenous pyrogens, such as interleukins, tumor necrosis factor, interferon and so on. Endogenous pyrogens act on the thermoregulatory center, leading to an increase in the body’s thermoregulatory point, which leads to an increase in the body’s heat production and a decrease in heat dissipation, and the body temperature will rise accordingly.
