A member asked:

I've had a fever for 4 days. it went down to 100 with tylenol (acetaminophen). when should i be concerned & see doc? doc says he's not worried bc it's lower.

Ride it out: The fever is low, and responding to medication, you do not mention increased symptoms, so i agree with you doctor. Viral infections are everywhere now, so rest, liquids and comfort meds to ride this out, and you should be fine.
