I have had a fever (ranging between 99 and 101.5) since last Tuesday night along with a terrible sore throat. I thought I might have strep so I went to the doctor Wednesday afternoon and he said my throat did not look like strep and he thought it was just a viral infection. He gave me some lidocaine (?) solution to gargle with to help with the throat pain and told me to take Tylenol/ibuprofin for the fever/pain.
Well it is Sunday night and my throat is starting to feel better but the *%#$ fever is still with me. No matter what I do it never goes below 99 (I typically run in the mid-97's when I am not sick so a 99 fever is about 1.5 degrees higher than my normal - side question why does everyone consider 98.6 to be normal?
When I am at 98.6 I don't feel very good). It is very exhausting to have a fever for 5-6 days in a row.
I have not been to work since Tuesday and I HAVE to go back tomorrow. I also would like to play with DS again. Since I have had a fever I am afraid that I am infectious and I have not been around him much and I miss him so much. I am so afraid he is going to get sick from me so while I may be in the same room with him I don't snuggle with him, feed him and love on him like normal.
I would really, really, really appreciate it if anyone could send my some fever-reducing pixie dust because nothing else is working.
