Posted on Mon, 16 Nov 2015
Question: I have been running a temperature of only one degree for 4-5 days. I get relief with Motrin, But there is a limit to how many I should take. I take 4 at a time. so I take about 3 doses of 4 tablets of over the counter Motrin. that helps. I have no chest congestion or no head congestion.

If all this is normal,you should see immunologist. Wish you good health. Regards
