A member asked:

My temp went from 101.5 to 96.0 degrees fahrenheit in a little over 24 hours. ive had a cold-like illness for 2 weeks now. should i go back to the doc?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Two Weeks, Too Weak: So it went down. That's good. Make sure those numbers are accurate by not eating or drinking anything 1/2 hour before taking your temperature. This season, 2 weeks of a cold is not unusual. Nor is having a residual cough for another 2-3 weeks. The viruses are getting more and more vicious. And, did you get your flu shot this year? Taking plenty of fluids, a daily multivitamin , green tea and rest?
