What is fever? Why should you take a course of antibiotics?

What is fever?
Fever is a symptom indicating the presence of  a foreign substance in the body be it a objects or bacteria, virus etc. There is an increase in temperature which should be brought down by wet cloth swab. This is to ensure that we dont lose moisture from our body and get dehydrated. The functioning of  most of the organs is also disturbed when the temperature of the body increases. HEnce care should be taken to bring down the body temperature. 
Do not immediately give crocin or any anti-pyretic tablet . Analyse the causative for the onset of fever. 
When doctor prescribes a dose of tablets say 8 tablets , do not skip these. 
Bacteria forms spores when you take the first tablet. It becomes inactivated. Immediately we feel that we are cured. No fever! No tab!
But the bacteria is only inactive. With the second tab it still more hardens the cell wall as a self defense. Further doses act on the cell wall and kills the bacteria. If you stop with two tablets , the bacteria inside the spore starts multiplying and after few days there would be an outburst of bacteria which would act with full vigour . In this situations the common broad spectrum anti biotics might be resistant.
that is why you should take a full dose of prescribed antibiotics or medicine
