Suggest Medication For Low Grade Fever

I've had a low grade fever for 12 days now. It ranges between 98.8 and 99.6. I've been waking up to damp clothes- not all over, but in certain areas where there is skin on skin contact and on my back where my skin touches the bed. I've heard that Lymphoma can cause these symptoms and am worried. I've been so nervous, that even though I feel like I'm hungry all the time, I can't seem to get an appetite. I have high energy levels despite the fact that I have not slept a whole night in the past 7 or 8 days straight. I recently started taking a new brith control pill. These symptoms started up eleven days after starting Loestrin.

Hi thanks for asking question.
You are talking about b symptoms of lymphoma.
But in case of an tumour apart from fever there are also history of weight loss,anorexia etc.Your physical examination has to be done.If lymphoma like tumour then one of the lymph node in body might be enlarged like in cervical region, axillary or groin region which is non painful and for long duration.
You can do your CBC examination if still doubt.
You have least possibility of lymphoma on basis of fever only.
fever might be because of drug.If still after few days you notice enlarge lymph node then go for CBC and consult doctor.
I hope my suggestion will help you.Avoid stress.
If problem in sleep for few day zolpidem like drug can be taken if no benefit despite exercise, night time heavy meal and milk.
thanks.
