I have had fever for 4 days breaks when i take motrin and tylenol (acetaminophen). my fever broke again approx 2 hours ago temp now is 95.8 with sweating?

See your FamilyDoc: So the good news is that Motrin & Tylenol (acetaminophen) can break your fever. The bad news is that you're still sick after 4 days. Best recommendation I can make is to see your Family Doc or go to Urgent Care or even Emergency Department to determine cause of fever & to receive appropriate treatment.
