Yes.. You are "sent" to home for a reason. You have to keep it at 98 F to feel better. You gotta take care of yourself. Don't be stubborn.
Fevers are the natural response of a body to heal itself when attacked. They will stimulate the immune system and the elevated temperature will kill the invaders (microbes)! The optimum temperature for a body to kill microbes is
102 - 103F.
If you take aspirin to lower your temperature, you are sending your soldiers back to the fort and letting the enemy last longer than it should.
If you do have a fever you should support yourself by fasting or consuming broths and drinking fluids. Getting as much rest as possible is also a good idea. You may look tired and and feel sluggish, but your body is working hard to heal itself.
