Can Walking Bring Down The Body Temperature?
Question: hi, I was in sun 31 degrees celcius for half an hour day before yesterday and almost 2 hours yesterday. though I had sun cap on I am feeling feverish since yesterday. the fever was 98.7 yest night. I took paracetemol and it came down to 98.1 before sleeping. today morning as I got out of the bed it was 98.6 again. I took paracetemol and it came down to 98.3. in the afternoon I walked up 12 floors and sweated and the temperature came down to 97.9. now its 98.6 again. I am not having any other strong symptoms of cold or cough just very slight. why am I feeling feverish? my normal temperature is around 97.5 to 97.9. is it okay to walk up to sweat to bring down the temperature? could the sun have caused this feverishness. I am taking azee since yesterday for slight throat infection.
Brief Answer:
You should avoid paracetamol until temperature crosses 100 or 101
Detailed Answer:
Hello
I had gone through your question very diligently and I really appreciate your concern.
In my opinion you should avoid paracetamol or other drugs until your body temperature crosses 100 or 101.
You need not to worry about this slight variation in temperature.
first of all I will answer your questions
It's alright to sweat and bring down body temperature, no issue in it.
Sun exposure can lead to slight elevation in temperature for short period of time not persistently high temperature.
In my opinion you should not take Azee 500 me just for cold and slight elevation in temperature. It's an antibiotics which should not be taken indiscriminately, without consulting a doctor.
I would advise you to do gargling with warm saline water or antiseptic mouth wash.
you should take vitamin C supplements
you can take anti allergic drug like levocetirizine or fexofenadine group of drugs.
Here I would like to know if you are having sore throat, difficulties on swallowing, running nose or cough?
Please write back to me for follow up and further clarification.
Best wishes

there is slight sore throat hence I took azee and slight cold for which I took wikoryl. there is very slight head ache too. can slight rise in temperature make me feel a little fatigued? I exercised to sweat and reduce the temperature but it XXXXXXX again so I am concerned with exercising and sweating to reduce temperature is okay or not? does rise in external temperature cause rise in body temperature?
Brief Answer:
You should take symptomatic treatment as of now
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome again
Rise in external temperature generally doesn't increases body temperature when exposed for shorter period of time.
Headache, sore throat and fatigue might be related to viral fever or pharyngitis (either infective or allergic)
Take symptomatic treatment for a day or two if it doesn't help than you should see a doctor for physical examination and a course of antibiotics if need arises.
Meanwhile you can take paracetamol for headache; have lots of fluids and multivitamin supplements, fresh fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly to counter fatigue.
Anti allergic drug like wikoryl for sore throat and cold.
Do gargling and steam inhalation.
Hope this answers your question

Dr. Hudda,
Thank you very much for your replies. one last question which has bothering me for quite some time and would appreciate if you clear my doubt urgently.
whenever I stretch my neck backwards to the maximum that I can and I feel the stretch to be maximum, I have a slight bout of cough. is this normal or can there be any pathological condition behind this?
Thanks and regards,

Brief Answer:
This is normal

This could be normal because stretching of the neck may cause partial obstruction of the air pipe and might cause cough so you need not to worry about this.
Hope this answers your question
