Question 1

Body pain fatigue reduced appetite feeling feverish but no fever. 36.7 under armpit.should i add 1?what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Viruses can cause infection, often in the upper respiratory tract(URI). Sometimes in the GI tract. It usually lasts one week to 10 days and then you feel well. If it persists beyond 2 weeks then you have to be checked by a physician for something more serious. Take a couple of tylenols (acetaminophen) for symptom relief.

Question 2

In last 3 weeks, i have lymphadenopathy on my neck,my armpits, not painful! reduced apetite for 3 days,stiff neck, but not sick,no fever,no strep inf.

Accepted Answer

At age 22, these symptoms for 3 weeks are highly suggestive of infectious mononucleosis. Mono often is mild, so "not sick, no fever" doesnt mean much. Depending on risk, it could be more serious, such as syphilis or HIV. There are several other possibilities as well. Return to your doctor for further evaluation.

Question 6

Burning armpits, spine and chest , fever?

Accepted Answer

If you are taking Cipro (ciprofloxacin) already, you should go back to see your doc.  I doubt that you are allergic, but something else needs to be looked at.  You may need xrays or more labs/cultures.

Question 7

What cause small painful swelling  under armpit that cause  fever?

Accepted Answer

A systemic infection will cause your immune system to go onto overdrive. This results in the increased size of lymph nodes where the activated cells of the immune system is battling it out with the infection. These lymph nodes will be noted when they are close to the surface of the body, like in the area of the armpits

Question 8

Hi. my 7 week old daughter has a fever of 38c, measured under her armpit. she has no other symptoms.

Accepted Answer

An infant at this age with any such fever should be seem as soon as possible. Germs that linger from delivery like group B strep or E.coli can hibernate & then suddenly appear to cause life threatening illness. Get moving !!!!

Question 9

My daughter 6months 1/2 just starting teething 2days ago & now has a fever of 100.6 done under armpit....help?

Accepted Answer

Armpit temperatures are not that reliable, but if she has a fever at 6 months she needs to see a doctor to figure out the cause. It is not from teething. Please take her to the doctor today. Babies can get very sick very fast, it is better to have her seen and make sure she is okay.

Question 10

My 7 month old son has a temperature of 36.8 c taken from his armpit. he seems pretty fussy. does he have a fever? thanks

Accepted Answer

37 C is 98.6F and these are normal temperatures. Not all infections produce fever, and without knowing how well the armpit temperature was recorded he may actually have some low grade fever. With infants under a year old you are always better safe than sorry. If you have any questions about his fussiness, feeding, sleep patterns, etc. better to check with his pediatrician.
