Because pathogens desire the high temperature for survival. When the temperature increases, it makes it easier for them to survive in the body.

Because pathogens desire the body’s normal temperature for survival. When the temperature increases, it makes it challenging for them to survive in the body.

Detailed explanation-1: -You get a fever because your body is trying to kill the virus or bacteria that caused the infection. Most of those bacteria and viruses do well when your body is at your normal temperature. But if you have a fever, it is harder for them to survive. Fever also activates your body’s immune system.
Detailed explanation-2: -Your body reacts and heats up When you have an infection, you make lots of these cells. They work faster to try and fight off the infection. The increase in these white blood cells affects your hypothalamus. This makes your body heat up, causing a fever.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fever is an elevated body temperature that occurs when the body’s thermostat (located in the hypothalamus) resets at a higher temperature, primarily in response to an infection. Elevated body temperature that is not caused by a resetting of the temperature set point is called hyperthermia.
Detailed explanation-4: -Some pyrogens are produced by body tissue; many pathogens also produce pyrogens. When the hypothalamus detects them, it tells the body to generate and retain more heat, thus producing a fever. Children typically get higher and quicker fevers, reflecting the effects of the pyrogens upon an inexperienced immune system.
Detailed explanation-5: -When temperatures rise, the body reacts by increasing blood flow to the skin’s surface, taking the heat from within the body to the surface. This means sweat. As the sweat evaporates, the body cools down.
