fever peak


Explanation:
http://www.clinicalpediatrics.com/Fever.html
"When the fever peaks, the blood vessels dilate giving the skin a red, flushed appearance and the patient feels hot and often breaks into a sweat as the temperature cycles down. "

"The fever peak wasn't very high. But we're not too surprised."

"The second involves the release of further endogenous pyrogen in the normal recipient to cause, in turn, the second fever peak. "
