Fever with minimal symtoms?!
Question:
Fever with minimal symtoms?
I have had a fever for two days now ranging from 99-102, but i only have a slight headache, and feel dizzy once in awhile, and also my neck seems stiff. Is this a virus, or what do you think it may be?
Answers:
Fevers are not necessarily BAD things. It is your body's way of trying to rid itself of an invader, viral or bacterial. A fever that lasts more that 5 days should be looked into lacking more severe symptoms, but otherwise, I would just keep myself hydrated and ride it out! Ultimately, it is your body and your decision...but be warned, most physicians seeing a patient with the only complain of a slight fever and some aches are just going to tell you you have a virus and to rest and come back if you don't feel better in a week! Such a waste after spending money and time in a waiting area teaming with all sorts of OTHER viruses you can get...
