Suggest Treatment For Low Grade Fever
My husband said he isn t feeling well. While he was lying down, I put my hand on his forehead. He felt cool and clammy. I have taken his temperature 4 times and he has a temp of 96.5; 96.9;96.1 and 96.3 on 4 different thermometers. I have a very warm bath ready, but not sure if this is the thing to do. Please help if you can. Does he need to go to the ER??? It is 12:30 am where I am. Thank you so much.

I'd recommend tepid sponging instead of warm bath
He can take acetaminophen /paracetamol 500mg tablet once now and once in morning if fever persists.
