Hello XXXXXXX
If the underlying cause of a fever is still there, the fever will usually return after the fever-lowering medicine (acetaminophen, paracetamol, ibuprofen, etc) wears off. This is not uncommon.
I have some questions for you:
1. How high are your fevers?
2. How long have you been having fevers?
3. What other symptoms are you having, such as sore throat, cough, nasal/sinus congestion, or abdominal pain, diarrhea?
4. Are you in a location that has infectious diseases from the water, etc.
Thanks - this can help me to tell you more about what might be going on.

temp is around 98 to 99...near felt high fever..for last five days..I have sore throat...
Brief Answer:
Get a throat swab please:
Detailed Answer:
It's possible that without fever lowering medicine you have a higher fever.
When I hear the combination of a persistent fever and sore throat, I am concerned about possible strep throat. Please go in to a clinic/doctor and have your throat swabbed for strep (and possibly flu) and also a mono test.
I am not a big advocate of antibiotics for minor illnesses, but it is important to take it for strep, if that is the cause, because of the risk of complications (such as rheumatic heart disease) from untreated strep.
So please go in and get your throat swabbed to check.
