What is another word for running a temperature?
Pronunciation: [ɹˈʌnɪŋ ɐ tˈɛmpɹɪt͡ʃə] (IPA) 
When someone is unwell, we often say they are "running a temperature". However, there are several other ways to describe an elevated body temperature. One of these is "feverish". This word not only describes a high temperature but also the overall feeling of being unwell that often accompanies it. Other synonyms include "pyretic" and "febrile". In more severe cases, one may use the terms "hyperthermic" or "hot-blooded". Additionally, the phrase "spiking a fever" is commonly used when a person's temperature suddenly rises, often indicating the onset of an infection or illness. Regardless of the terminology used, it is important to pay attention to changes in body temperature and seek medical advice if necessary.
