A member asked:

My hands and feet go numb. i've had a 102 fever for 4 days. taking advil brings fever down and numbing goes away. it's this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doctor can evaluate: For minor illnesses like a cold virus, fever and aches go away by themselves. Most people use over-the-counter drugs like Tylenol (acetaminophen), Motrin, or Advil for relief of such symptoms. If a person has a strep throat infection or other bacterial infection, antibiotics are the treatment. A doctor can evaluate to look for a diagnosis, especially if a person has had 4 days of moderate fevers.
