Some inflammation is good to repair damaged stuff, be it muscles, tendons etc. Very often I see this in gym freaks or rock climbers, fighting inflammation at all costs without understanding underlying processes.

Or in case of infection move temperature further away from optimal one for breeding foreign bacteria/viruses, at that scale and numbers its statistics game so any advantage, even by just raising overall temperature is acceptable.

The problem is our bodies sometimes go haywire and don't regulate properly.
