Regarding fever, there are a couple of considerations that you might find surprising or instructive. First, a growing body of evidence posits that fever is one of the body’s primary therapeutic responses to infections such as respiratory viruses. In that context, a fever (a rise in temperature of 1- 4°C above baseline) is associated with the resolution of viral infections and increased survival rates in humans.
A fever stimulates both our adaptive and innate immune responses and, as such, contributes to the destruction of microbial invaders while simultaneously recruiting and increasing the production of relevant immune cells needed to restore health and well-being.
Instead of being an enemy, fever is considered an ally if it remains relatively low and lasts only a relatively short time (~three days). As such, our reflex to instantly treat a fever with antipyretics may do more harm than good in some cases; however, if fever creeps higher or lasts too long (especially in children), especially in the presence of fever-induced symptoms (e.g., febrile seizures) steps to reduce it become necessary to prevent long-term severe organ or brain damage.
Secondly, an average body temperature is not a fixed number that applies to all people equally but lies on a spectrum that can vary (+/- 1.5°C or 2.7°F) between individuals, including differences in biological sex.
The pathophysiology of fever, or pyrexia, is complex. There are many non-infectious causes as well, including:
Below is a general categorization of fevers that varies based on the source you choose:

If you are interested in the interaction potential of specific pharmaceuticals with CBD, consider visiting these free drug interaction checkers: Drugs.com or DrugBank Online.
In general, when using cannabinoid-based therapeutics that contain both THC and CBD consider the ratio between them and weigh the relevant information displayed in the individual THC and CBD Drug Interaction windows accordingly.

Concerns about Cannabis and Cancer-related Immunotherapies:
Some recent clinical observational studies have suggested that the co-administration of cannabinoid-based therapeutics and immunotherapy or immune checkpoint inhibitors in the treatment of certain types of cancer has been associated with worse overall survival rates (T. Taha et al., 2019; A. Biedny et al., 2020; G. Bar-Sela et al., 2020).
However, other studies have suggested that the co-commitment use of immune checkpoint inhibitors and cannabis-induced no such deleterious effects. More specifically, one trial was conducted on animals resulting in data suggesting that cannabis did not negatively affect the properties of immune checkpoint inhibitors (B. Waissengrin et al., 2023). The same authors compared the previous study results with findings from a cohort of 201 patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer who received treatment with monotherapy pembrolizumab as a first-line treatment and adjunct cannabis to treat mainly pain and loss of appetite. Their time to tumor progression was 6.1 versus 5.6 months, and overall survival differed between 54.9 versus 23.6 months in cannabis-naïve patients and cannabis-using patients, respectively. However, while numerically different, the authors write that these differences were not statistically significant, leading them to suggest that “These data provide reassurance regarding the absence of a deleterious effect of cannabis in this clinical setting.”
