Question: Is it normal for my temperature to go up and down if I have strep!.!.or is it something else!?
My throat started itching Monday Evening!. I went to school Tuesday!.!.!.and by the time I got home!.!.I felt sick, went to sleep for three hours, then I took some TheraFlu!. then went to bed at 9!. I had a hard time sleeping that night!. When I asked my mom if I could stay home!.!.!.she took my temperature!.!.and it was 99!.8 I took Thera Flu like 2 more times the next day!.!.!.which helped with my nose!.!.but my throat got worse and worse!. My Temperature then went up to 102!.8 around 8:30!. So we went to the emergency room so I could see what was wrong, but when I got there, it dropped to 100!.3!. The doctor gave me some Children's Motrin for my fever, and some Amoxicillin pills for my throat!. She said I might have strep but she's not going to test me because so many people came in with it!. This morning, my temperature was normal (96!.8) so I stopped taking the Motrin!. My throat was still a little sore!. I checked my temp 2 hours ago, because I could feel myself getting warm!. and it was 98!.8!. 20 min ago, it was 99!.0!. And all I've been doing is sitting all day, and I still feel myself getting warmer right now!.!.!.!.

Yeah!. My temperature bounced around a bunch when I had strep too!. It mostly wavered in the 100!.#s though!. It's very normal for your fever to bounce around!. A fever is your body's way of 'cooking' the infection while they send defense to get rid of it!. However, it affects you too!. I had strep throat for about 6 days, and was the fourth positive in a row that day when I went in to get tested!. After a bit of time, the medicines should kick in and boot it out of your system!.
It's very likely you have strep; you're symptoms sound similar to mine!. My throat was very sore/felt like it was burning for most of the time; cough drops, milkshakes, and hot drinks helped a lot!.
