Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns
You should understand that the fever is a mechanism used by body to keep the body temperature maintained. Temperature also rises when the blood white blood cells fight against the foreign microorganisms which causes diseases. Also energy is used in excess for maintaining body metabolism.
During flu, body temperature do fluctuates and there is nothing to worry. Take proper rest and drink plenty of water.
Good luck,
