Question 4

should you always give a child medicine to lower a mild fever?

Accepted Answer

No: In children, a fever (temperature above 100.4 f or 38 c) is usually an indication of an illness. Many doctors believe that fever is one of the ways the body fights off the infection. Fever activates the immune system and makes it harder for the infection to survive. My advice generally is to treat the child, not the fever. If he feels bad, treat. If not, don't. See a doctor if the fever persists.

Question 5

Few possibilities.: How long do you have fever, have any h/o ear infect., sinusitis, bad teeth . Feeling cold means the chills you have , i assume, from release of infective toxins into blood  causing  fever also.Any fever can cause head ache, if high.In your case it is low. Tonsils infection also to be ruled out too. But early meningitis, tuberculoma brain-need to be ruled out. Pl. Visit your doctor, need more history.

Accepted Answer

Infection ?: Hard to tell without examining you and taking a look at radiographs of that area. It may be from your tooth, it may be from your sinus... Give your dentist a call for an appointment.

Question 8

how should i cure a mild fever with otc meds?

Accepted Answer

Fluids, rest: Low grade fevers are seldom severe symptoms if unaccompanied by other illness.  Use of Aspirin or Acetaminophen (tylenol) can reduce fever if you are uncomfortable.  On the other hand many docs feel that fever is beneficial in fighting infection and unless it creates further problems, leave it alone.

Question 9

what to do when i have cough and mild fever beside taking pills?
thanks

Accepted Answer

Rehydrate as needed: Besides taking over the counter pills, I assume.  Depending on how long you have had the cough and mild fever you may need either an antibiotic or continued use of over the counter medications.  Normally a flu like illness will peak at day 3-4 and then start getting better. Cough may last 6 weeks but fevers should resolve. Otherwise you may have a bacterial illness that requires and antibiotic.

Question 10

have mild fever. not sure if its related to covid and if a test needs to be done. how long does test take?

Accepted Answer

Basics: The persons who definitely need the test are those with difficulty/pain with breathing or exertion. The rest would be determined by multiple factors not provided in the post (region,local covid activity,job.etc.). Test turn around time varies with the type done &amp; could vary from minutes to several days. You need to consult the local health department for most of this information.
