The brain's hypothalamus is responsible for regulating body temperature, and when individuals get sick with an illness or infection like laryngitis, it's not uncommon for their body's temperature to rise in response. This is because a fever is one of the immune system's most natural defenses. Medical studies revealed elevated body temperature could speed up the performance of certain immune cells, leading to faster healing.

Most of us know a fever is a response to some other medical problem; usually, taking the appropriate over-the-counter medication can make us feel better. However, an extremely high temperature can indicate a medical emergency, so patients should routinely check their temperature when sick. The average temperature for an adult is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Individuals should seek emergency medical care if their temperature hits or exceeds 103 degrees Fahrenheit.
