What makes a fever go up and down multiple times during a cold?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fever: Body temperature can go up and down due to multiple factors such as medication (once the effect of the medication is done, fever can come back), if you take a shower, and even cold weather. It is just the way your body has to fight infections without harming itself.
