NOT A FEVER!!: 37.2 is a perfectly normal temperature so don't worry so much about that.You are quite possibly taking too much ibuprofen. Ibuprofen is one of the main ingredients in nurofen so STOP taking both.Make sure you are hydrating/pushing fluids.If your asthma is acting up then yes, definitely go see your doc. Also inform your doc about your ibuprofen usage so that they are informed and can monitor you.
