Hi, I have had a fever for 5 days between 101.5 and 102.5. I get really bad chills. If I take 2 Advil The chills cease and I feel hot for a short time and and the chills resume in 3-5 hours. I am 64 and live in PA. Will this work itself out or do I need to go to a doctor. Thanks, Rnjnj
HI Well come to HCM If this is malaise condition then this can be best treated with the Tab Acetaminophen 500 mg and Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg three times in day, the chances of viral infection would be likely, hope this information helps.
