A member asked:

Normal body temp of 96's and now i am getting temps up into the 99's. is this considered a fever? and what to do when motrin isn't working anymore?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes,fever.: Insufficient information to evaluate. However, Motrin is the wrong approach to handling a fever — for whatever reason! Need to know what else is happening to you related to this new temp. rise! Go to a physician for consultation...
