Answers:
You have a fever at 99!.4 or 100!.4 (low grade fevers but fevers none the less!.) especially sine you have established your baseline as 97!.4!.
Yes, use tylenol to bring the fever down and reduce the pain!. Use a cold washcloth on your head!. Although you are probably freezing, don't crawl under the covers!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your low temp at night suggests possible low thyroid function!.
The fever suggests infection, which the body is using to fight it with!.!.!.
I will tell you what I would do for myself,
already knowing that I'm not sensitive to any of the following:
I use natural remedies!.!.!. In this case I'd want to take Goldenseal, Echinacea, Whole White Willow Bark, & GrapeFruit Seed Extract,
all together!.!.!. OR, a good mix of herbs for the immune system, sold at the HFS!.
Also, some organic Thymus Gland, which is the body's chief gland over the immune system!. I don't advise bringing down the fever, as this is one of the body's methods of fighting the infection!. I'd just help it along, with the herbs & thymus gland, or other immune system supportive herbs!. Once the infection is gone, the fever will stop occuring!.
Even so, let me tell you that there are much safer methods of lowering a fever!. The White Willow Bark, as well as Catnip, & Chamomile, all lower a fever by inducing perspiration!. They also are relaxing, & diuretic!.
When taking herbs together, less of each is needed, as they inhance one another's performance---Cayenne, enhancing digestion but also causing one to feel warmer!. (If taking Cayene, mix it into food first!.) Drink lots of water, & cut out ALL refined sugars & starches, even most whole grains & potatoes & carrots!. (Sugars lower one's immunity!.)
A cool, damp, cotton wash cloth on the forehead &/or neck feels good!.
That's what I would be doing!.
I hope you feel better soon!Www@Answer-Health@Com

your temperature will fluctuate naturally throughout the day!. You do have a mild fever at 99!.4 and if you are experiencing this often you should keep a journal for a few days include the your temp every 4 hours while awake!. Any other symptoms you have and if you are taking any anti pyretic's like tylenol!. This will help you keep track of whats going on!.
Also you should know that a fever is your bodies way of taking care of itself and thought they are uncomfortable you may be making your body less effective if you don't let your body run a mild fever!. The flip side to that coin is that if you are in pain or your temp gets too high that is not good either!.
Good LuckWww@Answer-Health@Com

I' sorry to say that youve caught some sort of a bug!. However you are in very good company as I have got one as well,achey throat hurts to cough, and leaves you drainless!. The fewer thing its a low grade fever it will usually peek in the evernings!. May I suggest popsiscles, many as desired, and jello and some warm vegetable organic stock!. The fever will subside in a few days if you have whats going around, Not much fun just losts of fruit juice and popsiscles to reduce the inner core and feels good on the throat!. Take care!. Over 105 should definitely see DR for hydration, at least!. Agape!.!. adnohrWww@Answer-Health@Com
as said above!. if 97!.4 is your baseline oral temp in room temp, then your 99!.4 to 100!.4 is a low grade fever!. fever is your body's compensatory mechanism!. you may likely have an infection going on right now!. if it goes higher than 101 or if your experiencing other symptoms i would recommend seeing a doctor!.
