Fever is not a disease! It's a known fact that the normal human body temperature is 98.6 F (37 C). If the temperature goes beyond that, then it's called fever. But one must not worry every time if there is a rise in the temperature.
Why?
The reason is that the immune system is designed to raise temperature as a defence mechanism if there is an attack by a foreign body (such as bacteria). So body temperature may fluctuate between 97 and 100.4. But there is no need to worry.

Dear Mr. lybrate-user,
azeflo is a combination of an antihistamine and a low dose steroid. Otrivin is a very powerful decongestant. They work differently and are used for different purposes. You should consult an ent surgeon to better understand your symptoms and get the appropriate treatment. Otrivin is not recommended for use for more than 5-7 days as it can cause a lot of other problems in time.
Hope this answers your question
best wishes.

This makes them feel blocked. The swelling leads to increased mucus production, which causes a runny nose. When dnss shr...more
