Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is possible that the symptoms are related to an acute viral or bacterial illness. The fever would cause an increase in your pulse rate.
In some people, fever may be an initial symptom and any other symptoms would develop subsequent to this. This may be the reason you are noticing any additional symptom, as yet, that can pinpoint the cause of the elevated temperature.
It would be important to use the tylenol. In addition, wearing cool or limited clothing, tepid sponging, fan therapy, and ingesting cold/cool liquids may also help reduce the temperature.
It would be difficult at this point to figure out the cause of the fever without any additional symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James
