A member asked:

My body temp soars (102) at night. need to use cold water to cool down. what does this mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Go see your doctor: Fever(temp over 98 degree) like this is worrysome if it is coming on daily or more than ocaasionally. Your doctor would have to examine you to find the cause of fever which can be an infection if the fever is of recent onset. Or it can be something more serious if the fever has continued for more than 1 or 2 weeks.
