Question 1

how can i make my fever last longer ?

Accepted Answer

Why?  Why? Why?:  Why do you want to make your fever last longer?  What benefit would that be to you?

Question 2

why my last 2 colds have given me a fever when sick?

Accepted Answer

Can happen.: Cold can be from various reasons like allergies, vasomotor rhinitis, and infections. If the cause is infection then fever is likely. Fever is either absent or a   low grade with most of the virus infections, except with viruses like flu. If a bacterial infection is involved on top of the cold then fever can be high.

Question 3

for the last 48hrs i've had a really bad fever, mainly being freezing cold on hot days and nights. it doesn't feel like a cold. i train and work a lot?

Accepted Answer

Acute infection: This may be a viral illness but you have not provided sufficient information to really even make an educated guess.  If this continues or you develop any other symptoms strongly suggest you see a doctor asap.

Question 4

my 5 year kid has got fever of 100. she is not having appetite too. last night she vomitted and has no cold or cough.

Accepted Answer

Flu?: She may have the flu. Make sure she stays hydrated with something like pedialyte or gatorade.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Need to drink tea: Sounds like the nasal and chest cilia not recovered. You cough when the chest cilia fail to remove phlegm.
Hum like "ooommmm"
Dring Green Tea with lemon and honey.
Ask your doctor if using the Hydro Pulse Nasal Sinus irrigator would help your nasal / sinus condition. See www.grossan.com

Question 6

i am 65 kilo, 34yo,  5- 4 male. 2 days back i felt very cold and got fever after lunch, lasted for 12 hours. ok for 1 day. 2day felt same before lunch

Accepted Answer

Needs Attention: Episodic fever may indicate an infection with parasites such as Malaria. I see you are located in Bangladesh, you may need to see a local physician

Question 7

i had a cold 12days back with some fever too. later the fever gone but i started smell strange for last 7days. it seems everything is damp and moist a?

Accepted Answer

May be sinusitis : Worth getting checked sometimes a cold can develop into a sinusitis.  A doctor could check this possibility and assist you with treatment

Question 8

7yr old get a cold almost every other weekend, only lasts a couple days, sometimes with fever but usually not. does this mean he has a bad immune syst?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: It's best to have your son see the Dr. just to make sure, but  when kids are around other kids outside the family, they can catch viruses frequently.  Things that help the immune system are getting enough sleep and eating a healthy balanced diet.

Question 9

whenever season got change, i suffer from cold and fever, invites cough, within week m normal , but blank cough last 2-3-4 months untill i take medicine?

Accepted Answer

Allergies: Seasonal patterns sounds more like a seasonal allergy rather than a "yearly" and "seasonal" infection. I do not like the fever part of the equation unless you are simply feeling hot and assuming you have a fever which could be a side effect of a revved up immune system reacting to the pollens to which you are allergic.

Question 10

should i do test of swine flu???i am continuously having cold and fever from last 3-4 month.

Accepted Answer

Wouldn't do that: That flu would not provide that pattern of symptoms. You  would get it and get over it within 2 wks with no long term issues.  You may have another medical issue but this would not do that.
