What Causes Recurring High Fever Along With Mild Cough?

I have had a fever for the last 6 days. It runs aprx 101+ on average and has reached as high 103.4 (yesterdal). I have had a mild cough but that is it. The thing that concers me is the fact my fever breaks and comes back. Over 10 times. Is this normal? Thank you for your time.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of recurrent high fever along with mild cough which is due to viral pharyngitis or upper respiratory tract infection. Need not to worry it could be mainly due to increased susceptibility of your body to get infected due to poor immunity. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to start vitamin C tablet for 10 days. Keep sipping warm water. Drink hot milk along with pinch of turmeric. Visit general physician once and get it examined if symptoms keeps on persisting. You should get blood tests done and start treatment once proper diagnosis is ruled out. You should give combination of Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen. You should give steam inhalation along with vaporizer.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
