Answers:
What reason did you have for taking all those pills!? Your temperature is not high enough to warrant it!. If you have a fever it is because there is either an infection or a virus that your body is trying to fight!. You taking pills is not helping it but hindering it!.
Ibuprofen is harmful for your stomach and Tylenol is murder on your liver and antihistamines are for allergies!.
All pills have to be broken down by your liver and can cause problems and have to be eliminated by your kidneys!. It is hard on them if you take too many!. So don't pop them indiscriminately!. Not to mention those pills don't cure they only mask the real symptoms of your disease which makes it harder to diagnose!.
Also most women get clammy and feel cold during their period especially the first 2 days!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

everyone's temperature varies slightly throughout the day!. Actually doctor's only consider you as actually having a "fever" if you are above 100!.2 many different things can contribute to your normal variences in temperature!. When we sleep our body heat naturally rises, so don't take your temp for at least 30 minutes after you wake up in order to ensure a more accurate reading!. Also if you are in pain (I imagine you are suffering from cramps) your blood pressure will elevate slightly which can raise your temperature somewhat!. As long as you start to see improvement in the next day or two and your fever doesn't become worse you should be okay, but if the fever persists or pain becomes less bearable you should see a doctor whenever your clinic is next open!. Hope you feel better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

your body is doing its job and keep taking Tylenol every 4 hours and take some motrin every 6 hours until your fever has gone down!.sounds to me like your getting a virus though!.try and get some rest and keep yourself hydrated for the next few days!.a fever is noted for being and worry some would be considered above 104!.0!.!.so take you temp every few hours after otc med's we're given!.!.hope you feel better hun!Www@Answer-Health@Com
