Fevers

they are all hypersensitivity reaction

Absolutely! Take some ibuprofen, drink water, and go to sleep. While in bed, make sure you have a lot of blankets so you can sweat it out then take a shower when you wake up. Eat light also to ensure not to upset your stomach, vitamin c (orange juice, etc) is EXCELLENT to rid any bug.

Yellow fever has that name because about 15% of the cases progress to a toxic phase including liver damage and jaundice. Jaundice causes the skin to turn yellow, hence the name.

The best thing to drink while having a fever would be water, or if you are not eating, throwing up or having diarrhea you should drink something like Gatorade to give you electrolytes or fruit juice. However you should not drink any kind of alcohol, coffee, or anything else that will dehydrate you.

* My doctor informed me that a person is contagious only when they have a fever.

* My doctor told me the same as the first answer but said that you need to be fever-free for at least 24 hours (48 hours is better) without the aid of ibuprofen before you can be sure of no longer being contagious.

*This is not always accurate. Consider the common cold. People can show symptoms and never have a fever, yet cold viruses still spread. It may be a good rule of thumb that if you have a fever you are at the most contagious point in your infection, but you may be contagious before or after a fever has occurred. If your fever has subsided then you may be safe to be in public, but continue to take precautions not to infect others by limiting touch to surfaces, wearing a face mask or covering your mouth, etc.

Usually a high fever lasts only a few days for a normal bout of the flu without secondary infections, perhaps 3 days at the most, although low grade fevers can accompany flu symptoms for slightly longer. All symptoms of the flu are usually gone in 7 to 10 days, although sometimes a cough can last for a couple of weeks after the other symptoms are gone.

yes it is a little temp. and it could be a temp just getting started.99.1 im pretty sure. so if yours is 99.1,that as an fever temperature.

on is a definite fever, 101.0 and higher is a high fever, and, depending on age, should be taken care of accordingly. 104.0 (40 C) or more is a hospital emergency.

Yes, but the amount will depend on many factors such as the ambient temperature [the air or water around you], the temperature of the beverage. the amount of hot beverage consumed and at what rate, and your body's natural system which works to maintain a body temperature of approximately 98.6 Fo. If your body temperature is low, then the hot beverages will help to raise it back to normal. However, if your body temperature is at or above normal, your body's cooling system will tend to work to get rid of the added heat in order to maintain normal.

Whether you develop a cardiovascular disease or not, you must always remember that is can sometimes be hereditary. However if you smoke, drink, infilliated with drugs, etc. You are setting yourself up for failure. Being overweight doesn,t help either. You may be in danger of having a stroke if you experience numbness in one side of your arm or face or feel dizzy.

No. 99.2 IS a fever; however it is only considered a very Low Grade fever. Considering that a ' normal ' reading in body temperature is 98.6 , a reading of 99.2 would be considered quite low & not a cause for alarm.

Yes but, if you have Motrin that is a better choice.

The fever has probably caused the toddler's body temperature to rise too much, so causing convulsions (which are violent tremors). Strip the toddler of cloths and gently wipe the body and head with a damp, cold cloth (ignore any protests from the semi-conscious toddler) to get the body temperature down. I would also call an ambulance as an emergency. When my two year old Grandson went into convulsions (for the same reasons as above) this is what his mother and I did. The ambulance medics said that we had done the right thing to lower body temperature. Within minutes, he was running round as though there was nothing wrong! Being English, I needed several cups of tea to recover.

No, 99 is not considered a fever, usually a temp of greater than 100.5 is a fever. A slight raise in body temp is natures way of killing the bad germs (pathogens).

Put a cold rag on his forehead, try to keep him and yourself calm. Call urgent care and ask also. Immediately consult a doctor. Go to the emergency room.

Just as strep throat occurs most frequently in fall, winter, and early spring, so does rheumatic fever.

Not to be flippant, but a persistent low grade fever is most typically caused by a persistent, low grade infection. There's not a lot else I can tell you without more symptoms present.

The answer is Ague

You should always be concerned when your child has a high grade fever. His/her body is trying to fight off an infection that are causing all of these symptoms. Sorry if this didn't help. Hope you feel better.

Yes you can. Sometimes you can get a fever without having other symptoms from certain over-the-counter medications. Other times, it can be a trigger that you are ABOUT to get sick. For example: The flu generally starts off with a low-grade fever (which is a temperature of 99-101 degrees measured orally) without any other symptoms present (You'll feel hot, but other than that nothing else). As other symptoms start to develop and they will develop unexpectedly (sudden onset), (sore throat, headache, dry cough, runny nose) your temperature will suddenly rise to 102 or higher (some people with the flu have reported fevers upwards to about 105 degrees).

No i think a scalet fever make a healthy and balanced person faint

I would assume a YES!!. Try going to the doctor the next time you get them so they can test you. Then you will know for sure Its hard to say. The first outbreak of herpes can come with a fever, swollen glands, sore throat and pain at the site of the outreak. However, herpes RARELY affects the tongue. See a doctor and they can tell you for sure.

Paracetamol and vitamin B-complex tablets are being administered in large quantities and patients are being advised to consume lots of fluids and take rest. It takes weeks and sometimes months for patients to be completely rid of the disease.

do you sweat whne you have a fever and why or why not

The fever is called sustained when it does not touch the base line of 98.4 degree Fahrenheit. This term is also used for a fever when it dose not go in reasonable period of time of say one week.

98.6 degrees Fahrenheit is the accepted "normal" temperature for human adults; however, many people have slightly different normals. For example, I always run a little cooler body temp than normal (97.7). So, I would say 97.6 is perfectly normal.
