How To Treat Fatigue And Fever?
My 14 year old son feels weak, has 99.1 temp and heart rate over 100. Is this something to be real concerned about? He has not been eating lunch at school (takes his own lunch). But he eats when he gets home. Today after school feels weaker than before.

Hi, thank you for posting.
I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns.
Your son is affected by a seasonal virus that is manifested with high temperature, fatigue and loss of appetite.
In these cases bed rest for 2 or 3 days is recommended.
He should also drink a lot of liquids such as juice or tea and he should eat fruits and vegetables because they contain a lot of vitamins.
To lower temperature he should take Acetominophen 500mg.
He needs a physical examination by his physician. Consult a general physician to discuss about the treatment.
Let me know if this answer is helpful.
All the best.
Dr. Behar.
