My temp. is at 98.1, and i have chills. yesterday i had a fever of 100.4. then today after lowering it shot back up to 101 degrees. what does that mean?

Are you taking medicine like ibuprofen or tylenol for the fever?

Also, are you sick? Or you just have a fever?

Your body is trying to break the fever…It’s doing it’s job. Stay hydrated!

Perhaps visiting your doctor would provide you with the right answers.

It might mean you need to see a doctor like @erichw1504 recommended.

It means you should see a doctor. Seriously, anything odd like that should be checked by a professional.

You may be ill.

It means that you are just making yourself better. This is just the process. Heat or cold just dislodges and then expels ‘poisons’ that you have gotten into yourself. Once you have got shut, you will be better. Don’t worry. Watch what you take (unless it is garlic or ginger).
If still doubtful, research ‘Healing Crisis’.
Just a personal opinion. It could be wrong.

“Poisons”? Has anyone informed you of the germ theory of disease? Jesus Christ, go read a real book.

Silly old ignorant man @pdworkin .

@lloydbird Actually, It means that his body is dislodged from homeostasis, and that it is apparently finding it rather difficult to regain it, pointing to an ongoing source of damage (such as an infection) or, more seriously, damage it’s having trouble healing. In other words, SEE A DOCTOR.

@BhacSsylan You may be right.

Once you have got shut, you will be better.
Whatever in the world does this sentence mean???

@PandoraBoxx Only on Wednesdays?

@PandoraBoxx Pardon me. I forgot that some terms don’t travel well.
It means – got rid of. Or better yet, rid yourself of.
