Im sick with the flu, was wondering if this is normal?!


Question: Im sick with the flu, was wondering if this is normal?
I've been sick 2-3 days with the flu. Today I feel numb, my body feels numb and weak. It worries me. Also on the day that I started with full blown fever, it was all the way up to 103.2degrees F. Since yesterday I've been having fever still but I don't take tylenol or advil anymore cause the temperature won't go above 100.6. Is that normal too? How long should I expect to continue with slightly elevated temperature. Thanks.

It will take awhile for the fever to go down maybe a few days. I agree with you about not taking tylenol when your fever is only 100.6. Also, sometimes when it does go down it goes down below normal for a couple days. Glad to hear your over the worst of it. Rest, and don't try to take on too much too soon.



The fever is probably coming because you are behind in your fluid intake which is also why you now feel weak and numb. Dramatically increasing your water/gatorade fluid intake for the next 24 hours will probably make all of this go away. You could also take some tylenol or motrin which will make you feel better but the fluid intake is what is going to fix this. With a couple days of increased fluids, the fever should go away on it's own.
