What Causes Fever While Recovering From Bronchitis?
I am recovering from bronchitis, upper respiratory infection and pharangytis and did not have a fever for 5 days. When I returned to work for the first time yesterday, I became overheated and my fever went back up to 99.4. Is it somewhat normal for extra moving around (I am a school cook) to cause a fever to return temporarily? I am still tired but feeling better and my fever is back to normal now. (the fever returned after being normal for two days last week when I did extra moving around at home as well) The dr has ordered a chest x-ray. Also, my mother always said we should not go to school or work until we do not have a fever for 24 hours. Is this correct? I am 53, 5'9" 175 lbs and have leukopenia. I do get run down easily. Thank you, Jane

Respected Jane, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly.
*Occasional fever spikes of 1 degree is convinceable in recovery phase may be
related to body stress / decreased immunity / external atmospheric
components / work load / remnant viremic phase.
*In my opinion should continue working that will recover you faster.
*Maintain your hydration , BP , Blood sugar levels.
*Continue your current medicines.
*Have adequate sleep of 8 hours.
*Deep breathing exercises for 20 min daily to boost up fast.
*Avoid smoking / alcohol if any consumption done.
*Avoid exposure to excess heat.
Hope this clears your query.
