About body temperature (fever). are adult fevers lower than children's fevers for the same illnesses?

Fever: There may be some truth to it. However any fever higher than 101.3 f is considered significant to be evaluated.

If you have a Fever i understand it is your body fighting a virus or for other reasons, but if it is a virus is it best to let your body raise your temperature to make a hostile environment for virus or take Paracetamol to lower temperature.Confused.
