Is It Possible To Get Fever Without Showing On The Thermometer?
My husband is flushed and warm to the touch and has been feeling like crap all day. He did throw up this morning, but not since. Not much to eat all day...did have some toast and rice for dinner and has kept it in. We've checked his temperature with a digital thermomter as well as a glass one and they both say he has a normal temperature. Is it possible for him to have a fever without it showing on the thermometer?
If the temperature is normal on the thermometers then it this means that means that he does not have a fever.
It is possible to have a flushed appearance with the absence of a fever.
He may have a slight case of gastroenteritis (inflammation/infection) of the gastrointestinal tract which resulted in his vomiting and flushed feeling. The use of liquids to treat or prevent dehydration would be important.
Probiotics may help.
I hope this helps
