Fever, sentence 2
The fever is not the illness, it is the body fighting; medicine like paracetamol lowers it for a few hours but doesn't kill the germ, so it comes back until you've won.
Who acts: fever, medicine, you · What happens: not be, be, fight, lower, not kill, come back · To what, where: illness, body, fever, germ
