In this episode, Sarah is joined by Dr. Strahinja Talic, a primary care physician from WakeMed, to tackle the hot topic of fevers. We’ve all had them, our kids have had them, but what really causes a fever? Are we contagious when we have one? How high is too high?
From the science behind why our bodies heat up when we’re sick, to the myths and realities about treating fevers in both adults and children, Sarah and Dr. Talic break it all down. Spoiler: protein and fat are your friends during a fever!
