My fever went down now it going back up?!


Question: for while had no fever now back to a fever and do have the flu


Answers: for while had no fever now back to a fever and do have the flu

you get a fever because your immune system generates heat while it's defending itself against the invading germs.
If you're taking acetominophen (tylenol), expect your fever to come back after about 4 hours. If you're taking ibuprofen (advil, motrin), it will come back after 6-8 hours.

It sounds cliched, but make sure you're drinking lots of fluids. it's one of the best ways to flush your system clean, and dehydration is no fun.

It is normal for your fever to rise again in evening time when you are fighting a cold or flu. Just keep treating your symptoms and know that in a few days you will be better.
