I Wen't Into Work And They Were Checking For Individuals
Question: I wen't into work and they were checking for individuals with a fever. Their thermometer read that I had a temperature of 101.9. They refuse to have me back at work until I'm cleared by a doctor. I have no symptoms and the thermometer that I have at home says that I have a perfectly normal temperature of 96.1. Am I able to be cleared to work without having to go to a doctors office and risk getting sick through a site like this?
Brief Answer:
Avoid going directly to doctor's office .
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
You have to monitor your fever and you can check it by thermometer 3 to 4 times a day and check it.
If it is an electronic forehead thermometer there is a possibility of errors.
You can check your fever at home with mercy thermometer and write it down.
If fever is over 99F° you may need to stay home and don't go to work.
You can upload the picture of your fever chart to me and avoid going to the doctor office because you can get covid19.
Everyone in the world is avoiding going directly in doctor's offices now and most of medical visits are done online or by phone.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
