Brief Answer:
What are the temperature readings?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this down feeling and the fever you have reported. You seem not to have reported any other specific symptoms making this more likely to be a viral infection/flu. I will suggest that you take tylenol, eat well and rest enough. Also, increased fluid intake and exercise are helpful in the recovery process.

Finally, I will like to know what the temperature readings are. Fever from viral infections rarely go beyond 101.3F. If it is higher than this, I might suggest that we get some laboratory investigations done. Kindly communicate the values to me for more insights and guidance.

I hope this helps and guides. I hope to hear from you. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.

Thank you, forgot to say that have had stomach ache and reduced appetite, but no other not normal bowel functions. Just no energy. Stomach and the fever shows up in the evening-----the last three nights.
