I believe I have had a temperature of at least 102-104, for 2 days. I have been taking Tylenol and that has been helping until it wears off then all the symptoms return. How do I know when I should go to the doctor? Also, can a food thermometer accurately display a body temp by putting it under tongue?
Dear user about your fever you will follow these simple of treatment steps as alternative to Tylenol but if symptoms persist you need to see your doctor for blood tests and investigationsibubrufen and metal are good antipyretic that you could take for relief of fever as alternative to Tylenol and it is safe for use ......important step required with medications is doing cold compresses that decrease body temperature........making cold compresses and put your head or body under mild cold running water fora time if 10-15 minutes until grade of fever reduced then take antipyretic........ibuprofen has excellent effect in lowering moderate fever ......i....... ..simple cold compresses should not be ignored....it will make you improve a lot...........treatment of the cause of infection is the main step that if bacterial infection suspected you should take antibiotic as amoxicillin ....also your question about using food thermometer is yes it can measure body temperature hope that helps you wish you healthy life
