What Causes Low Grade Fever With Headache?
I have been running what feels like a low grade fever for around a week now. I feel cold for most of the day and wake up in the night with chills and sweats. I play baseball and don t feel that bad. With the help of ibuprofen I am able to play games feeling completely normal until it wears off. I also feel rather achey most of the day and have headaches at some points. When should I go to a doctor?

Hello welcome to HCM. As fever is there since 1 week, it is better to get the complete investigation of blood and urine. Because your body is able to fight, less infection is there so the fever is in lower grade. The ibuprofen what you are taking just relieves the symptoms. The cause has to be treated. So Please go to physician and take further treatement after the investigations. Take care
