You should not take such high doses of Motrin,it may have bad effect on your stomach and liver. If you have fever that doesn't normalize,then the exact cause should be treated.Motrin is just used for symptoms. You need to check your urine and lungs first. Also do kidney ultrasound. If all this is normal,you should see immunologist. Wish you good health. Regards
