I seem to dance, I am not a dancer
I may pop, I am not a bubble
I may even roar, I am not a lion
I am high on fever, I am not a patient
I can force you to shut your eyes, I am not sleep
I can give you life, I am not your Creator
I can take it too, I am not your Destroyer
I am made of three, but alone none would work
Who am I? And who make me?

My first thought was that you are
Fire
I seem to dance, I am not a dancer
Flames seem to dance
I may pop, I am not a bubble
Fire crackles and pops
I may even roar, I am not a lion
Roaring bonfires
I am high on fever, I am not a patient
Definitely high temperature
I can force you to shut your eyes, I am not sleep
You often have to close your eyes approaching a large fire - or smoke might make you close your eyes near even a smaller fire
I can give you life, I am not your Creator
Some tree seeds actually need fire to germinate (and eg forest fires are often needed to clear room for new growth). Humans maybe don’t strictly need fire to live, at least in some climates, but it certainly makes life in more northern latitudes possible.
I can take it too, I am not your Destroyer
People perish in fire with unfortunate regularity.
I am made of three, but alone none would work
Provided by @Rimply in a now-deleted comment: fire requires heat, fuel, and an oxidizing agent. Take away any one of the three and there is no fire. Certainly no single one of the three alone would suffice either. (See Fire Triangle for more info.)

You are probably
water
I seem to dance, I am not a dancer
Dancing water in a river.
I may pop, I am not a bubble
Again the noise of a river??
I may even roar, I am not a lion
Roaring waterfalls.
I am high on fever, I am not a patient
High waves?
I can force you to shut your eyes, I am not sleep
Spraying water at someone would make them close their eyes.
I can give you life, I am not your Creator
Water is needed for life.
I can take it too, I am not your Destroyer
Drowning.
I am made of three, but alone none won't work
Water is H2O - made of 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen, which alone would be useless.
$endgroup$
$begingroup$
That's a good (and too fast) answer, but could you explain why do high waves have fever? Btw I was thinking of another answer.

I seem to dance, I am not a dancer
Blood moves with a regular rhythm so, metaphorically, it dances.

Blood may come out if you pop a pimple, or similar.

Blood can make a roaring noise in your ears.
I am high on fever, I am not a patient
Fever will raise your blood temperature.
I can force you to shut your eyes, I am not sleep
Many people don't like the sight of blood.
I can give you life, I am not your Creator
Blood is symbolically associated with life.
I can take it too, I am not your Destroyer
Excessive bleeding can kill you.
I am made of three, but alone none won't work
There are three important kinds of blood cell, and you need all of them.
