Husband's fever will not go down. My husband started to get a low grade fever last night (99.9). I told him to take some medicine before going to sleep, but he said he needed to sweat it out overnight. He woke up several times during the night and finally took some alive this morning when his temperature rose to 102.5 I made him an appointment with the doctor earlier. When he went, everything came back negative (flu, mono, strep, pneumonia, meningitis, etc.). The doctor even had an x-ray done to double check on the pneumonia. He said if my husband's temperature rises above 103, to call him immediately. Since the visit (when the temp. Was 101.8), it's dropped to 100.3, then back up to 101, and now it's at 101.6). The only other symptoms he has are headache, fatigue and diarrhea. He has been instructed to take 2-3 tablets of ibuprofen 2-3 times a day. I'm really worried about him. Anyone have any ideas? I hate to see him like this. He's whimpering in his sleep: o (Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
