What is a subsiding stage of fever?

The subsiding stage of fever, also known as the defervescence phase, occurs when the body's temperature begins to return to normal after a period of elevated fever. During this stage, the underlying cause of the fever, such as an infection, is being resolved, leading to a decrease in the body's inflammatory response. Symptoms may include sweating, a sense of relief, and a drop in temperature, often accompanied by a feeling of fatigue as the body recovers. This stage signifies a positive response to treatment or the natural resolution of the illness.
