A fever's purpose is to burn off illness. Sometimes, especially when left alone to do it's job, it kills off the bug before other symptoms happen.

My son did this frequently as a child. He'd wake up burning hot....fever almost hot enough for me to want to treat...but I knew from experience with him if I left it alone it'd burn off faster....then he'd be fine in the morning. a day or two later, the rest of us would be sicker than dogs, but he'd be fine.

It was his super power.
