Significado
Having a high body temperature.
Contexto cultural
The '38-degree rule' is common in Swedish preschools. A child must be fever-free (utan feber) for 24 hours before returning. Swedes often use 'Alvedon' (paracetamol) as the go-to treatment for 'ha feber'. It's almost a cultural icon of sickness. Calling in sick is called 'sjukanmälan'. You don't need a doctor's note (läkarintyg) until the 8th day of having a fever. The term 'vabruari' refers to the peak fever season in February when many parents are home with sick kids.
