Question

Hi, My temp normaly runs around 34.9 to 35(c). Last night it was up to 36.6 and this morning it is 36.5. I have a variety of cold symptons. Should i be worried or do you think the higher temps are just because of the cold?

Optional Information

Gender: Female
Age: 46

Already Tried:
vit c, echinacea and buckleys mixture which contains 267 mg potassium bicarbonate,153 mg ammonium carbonate,22mg menthol,2.2 mg camphor. This is what i always use for a cold. Never had a thermometer before so i never took my temp. Recently i had about with kindney infection/ UTI so that's why i'm a little concerned. I've been keeping track of my temp ever since then. I am a long haul truck driver so i can't just go to my family Dr. Thx for any help.

Hello Dr.

I still have the cold symtoms. Sore throat,stuffed head,coughing,chest conjestion,runny nose. Just got the first symptoms yesterday morning which was a sore throat. the rest came last night but not too severe. this morning when i woke up i had what feels like a full fledged cold.

No blood in my urine etc.

I have had mild cramps for about a week now,but i think they are due to my not having a regular bowel movement for about a week. i've gone but not as much as normal for me. also i am due to start my period on the 14th and i do get cramps and other PMS symptoms 1 to 1.5 wks before i do start bleeding.

No nausea or vomiting.

Hope this answers everthing.

Thx XXXXXXXXX

Accepted Answer

Thanks for the additional details. From your description, with a history of cold this rise in fever is definitely because of it.

Please have a look at this site which will provide authentic information and I think that it could be quite helpful to you in managing it:

http://www.mayoclinic.com/print/common-cold/DS00056/METHOD=print&DSECTION=all

Please check in with a doctor/ hospital /ER if the symptoms aggravate or do not clear off within a reasonable time.

I hope that this helps. Best wishes. Please feel free to enquire if you have any remaining queries or doubts as it would be a privilege to help you as much as I can.
