Local inflammation: You may have an infection which results in skin flushing. If you have ear pain, difficulty swallowing, or trouble breathing please see your PCP. If the fever persists or worsens for more than 24 hours, please follow up. In the meantime, please use Tylenol instead of Motrin to control the fever. COVID 19 is one possible cause, or another illness. Stay home, rest and drink fluids.
