I have a low grade fever. My period is due tomorrow and sometimes the day before my period starts, I get a slight fever. This one has been going on since last night, though and it gives me fever chills. Its 80-something degrees in my house and Im in a fleece sweater
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of low grade fever which is because your immunity is lower down because of infection, and it is because of changes in hormonal levels in body during periods. Need not worry much. You should take paracetamol to prevent fever and combination of decongestants and multivitamin tablet. Your symptoms will resolve in 5-7 days. You should take rest properly and take diet rich in multivitamins. Avoid touching eyes, nose again and again as it will spread infection. If your symptoms keeps on persisting the visit general physician and get blood tests alone and start treatment accordingly. You should avoid intake of outside food. You should apply warm compresses on stomach and lower abdomen area. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
