If the body's thermoregulation mechanism is defeated, resulting in a temperature exceeding 38°C, it's commonly called a fever.

Fever usually causes symptoms such as general weakness, dry mouth, cough, sore throat, chills, flushing, headaches and dizziness.

According to traditional Chinese and Indian medicine, pears have the effect of clearing heat, cooling blood and detoxification, which can assist in the treatment of fever.

Clinical experience has also proved that eating more pears during a fever can relieve the symptoms of fever.

The USDA has found that pears have high levels of ORAC (oxygen radical absorption capacity). ORAC is a measure of the antioxidant activity of foods.

During a fever, eating more pears with high ORAC content can effectively remove harmful free radicals, enhance immunity and resistance, and speed up the recovery of the disease.

In addition, fresh pears have a water content of up to 85%. Eating more pears can lower your body temperature, replenish fluids and keep you hydrated.
