Fever?: I have had a low grade fever (99.0-100°) every day for at least a month. Ibuprofen only brings it down to 99ish. Usually around 99.8°. ANS: I would check with a good mercury thermometer and discuss with your Dr. The most accurate body temperature can be obtained by peeing into an insulated cup and measure the temp of you pee immediately.
