Question

His temp has been arond 102.7 -101.4 in that range. I've given him lot's of fluids even ensure and pedilite gatorade and etc. What else can we do we don't have medical Ins.He worked for a place about 27 years and they closed and hasn't been able to get another with benifits yet.But he has never been sick he is 54 and this fever running for over a weeks worries me and the headache along with it Anyhelp would be appreciated.

Answer 1

He may just have the flu which comes with all the symptoms he has and it can last for 7 to 10 days. Just have him drink plenty of water, eat some Chicken Cup of Soup, take Extra Strength Tylenol for the fever. A fever usually indicates an infection somewhere and if he thinks about it he may come up with something somewhere in his body that doesn't feel right. A viral infection can also cause high temperatures, but it usually runs it's course and is gone, no antibiotics will help. Does his lower back hurt, (Kidney Infection) Sore throat (Strep Infection) Diarrhea (Ate something bad or infected with e-coli) Constipated (Needs a good laxative) Could have an ear or sinus infection. I believe most Doctors will let you be seen and you can pay them in a couple of installments if you explain your situation. Go to your local Health Dept or try for Medicaid, but that takes time and time he doesn't have, especially if that fever doesn't break soon. I wish for you and your husband the very best and hope he feels better soon. Good luck
