Pain: Pain can be short-term (acute) or long-term (chronic). Acute pain is short-term and caused by damage to the tissues of the muscle, bone, or organs. In contrast, chronic pain lasts for a longer duration and is caused by pathologies like nerve damage, Osteoarthritis, and dental pain caused by damage to the tooth nerve, infection, decay, extraction, or injury.

Fever: Fever is not a disease but a sign that your body is trying to fight an infection or illness in which your body's immune system gets activated to fight infections caused by bacteria or viruses. A normal temperature is around 98.6 F but may vary from person to person. Fever is caused due to the 'pyrogen' released by the hypothalamus part of the brain. This pyrogen causes heat-generating effects that match a new higher temperature set point to fight infection.
