I have run a low grade fever for the past 3 days; 100.8-101.7. I don t have a cough or any symptoms of that sort. It starts about 4:00 and is elevated until I take a couple of Extra Strength Tylenol, back to normal in a couple of hours. I do have joint aches and some chills; I m sitting with a blanket right now. I m more worried about being contagious and giving something to my family. I think it s time to make a doctor s appointment, what do you think? I just saw the cost; I ll call my doctor on Monday. Thank you
Hello, Welcome to ChatDoctorThanks for posting your query in Chat Doctor. I understand your concerns. As you have only low grade fever which is not associated with sore throat and chills, most probably its of viral origin. Tab.Cronin or Tab.dolo-650 mg for three times daily will help you to suffice your symptoms. Also have plenty of hot water. If you sweat a lot, fever will come down. Take good amount of semisolid foods. Hope you are happy with the answer. Thank you
