101 fever - #18929
I’ve had a 101 fever for the past couple of days, and it’s starting to worry me. I know that a fever can be a sign that the body is fighting an infection, but I’m unsure whether my symptoms are mild or if I should be concerned. Can you explain what a 101 fever means in terms of temperature and what causes it? Is it typically related to viral or bacterial infections, or could it be a sign of something more serious? I’ve also heard that a fever can cause discomfort, such as chills, sweating, and dehydration. What should I do to manage my 101 fever at home, and are there specific medications or treatments I can take to lower the fever safely? Should I be drinking more fluids to stay hydrated, and is there anything I should avoid, such as alcohol or caffeine, that could worsen my symptoms? Since I don’t have other symptoms like a sore throat, cough, or rash, I’m wondering if my 101 fever is related to something less obvious. How do doctors typically diagnose the cause of a fever, and what tests might be needed to pinpoint the exact infection or issue? Could it be related to something like a urinary tract infection, sinus infection, or other non-obvious causes? Lastly, I’m wondering when it’s necessary to seek medical attention for a 101 fever. How long should I wait before seeing a doctor if the fever doesn’t improve, or if I start experiencing other symptoms, like difficulty breathing or severe pain? If you have advice on how to manage a 101 fever or know when I should be concerned enough to visit a doctor, I’d appreciate your guidance.
