Q. How do I get fever overnight?

Fever is a common symptom of many illnesses, and getting it overnight is a possibility in some cases. However, it’s important to realize that fever isn't contagious — catching it from someone else can't happen.

The most common cause of an overnight fever is an infection. These are often caused by viruses or bacteria. Typically, the body starts to fight off these infections by raising its internal temperature, resulting in a fever. So if you come into contact with something infectious or you're around someone who's sick and then develop a fever shortly after, there's a good chance that you have some kind of infection.

Other possible causes for an overnight fever may include autoimmune diseases like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis; hormonal imbalances (such as hyperthyroidism); reaction to certain medications; environmental factors such as extreme temperatures; and even cancer in rare cases. If the fever persists for more than three days, be sure to talk to your doctor about any other symptoms you may be experiencing so that he/she can determine the underlying cause(s).

If you believe your overnight fever is due to an infection, there are some things you can do at home: plenty of rest; drinking lots of fluids like water and juice; taking over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen (be sure not to exceed recommended dosage); using cool compresses on forehead/neck area if needed; avoiding exposure to others (especially those feeling unwell) until recovery complete; staying away from exposure sources whenever possible without forfeiting essential activities like work/school/family obligations - this also includes avoiding going out when ill unless absolutely necessary given current health care availability capacity constraints due COVID-19 pandemic regulations imposed throughout much of the world currently.; maintaining hygiene practices via frequent handwashing with soap & warm water while avoiding touching face too frequently especially after being out in public places where virus transmission risks are highest - this should always involve wearing face masks whenever feasible during times when unable sufficiently maintain physical distancing measures between self and others present indoors especially during periods community spread highest locally near one's own residence address location(s).

In conclusion, though getting high fevers is unfortunately quite common amongst humans at times depending upon specific circumstances involved - ensuring oneself receives adequate medical attention required when having prolonged symptoms which fail respond adequately reasonable home remedies used traditionally treat low grade fevers generally speaking should always remain top priority regardless how situation arises given potential accompanying side effects sometimes experienced through course duration illness episode(s) patients enduring same might suffer from if left untreated accordingly before sufficient time passes allowing full resolution eventually occur once again naturally all around instead :)
