Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, I've been running a low grade fever 99.3-101.00 for over a month now. I have hay fever, take luvox 200 mg daily, but am in generally good health. Should I see my doctor about the fever or could it be a medication side effect or a side effect of the hay fever?
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have persistent fever while on 'luvox" which is due to viral infection leading to respiratory tract infection. It could be due to exposure to allergens on frequent basis. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit general physician once and get it examined and start treatment after proper diagnosis. You should take full rest to and have sound sleep. You should do warm saline gargles 3 to 4 times a day. Take ibuprofen one tablet twice daily. Drink lukewarm water throughout the day as it can provide relief. You should take soft foods. Apply mist humidifiers in room. Get blood test done to detect level of infection. You can take Meftal P to for fever.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
