Question

During fever breathing rate

• A. Increases
• B. Decreases
• C. Remains the same
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Increases

Normal body temperature is around ${37}^0$C. During fever the body's temperature is higher than normal because of an infection. Fever causes an increase in the heart rate, breathing rate and blood circulation to the skin. This is how the body tries to reduce the heat caused by fever.

Hence the correct option is A.
