temperature 101 degrees but no feverish feeling

[rahman21]

so for the last two days i get this feeling of burning inside with heat. as such i check my temperature which is between 101/102. no symptoms of fever like aches, nausea, chills, shiver. after staying under air-conditioner for an hour the temp. drops to 98.

i have to mention that i have been suffering from fever for the last 10-11 days. the doctor carried out tests and diagnosed pneumonia for the reason of fever; as such prescribed antibiotics. and there are times when i get the symptoms of fever & temp rises.

 

but i really need to know is there an even remote possibility of having temp as high as 102 & not feeling feverish?


thanks.

Your doctor is the best person to answer questions like these, but unfortunately, he's not a member. I'm reluctant to second-guess him, especially because I hope you'll ask him to join and tell us his answer.

 

I don't want your doctor mad at me for giving uneducated medical advice to his patients.

Medical advice is always best, but many people react in different ways to symptoms.

 

Are you taking Vitamin B supplements? Too much Vitamin B 12 for example can dull your senses until your tongue and fingers go numb. If someone takes Niacin they frequently get a "Niacin Flush" which is a reddening of the skin (like sunburn) accompanied by heat and itchiness. Do you take Niacin heavy foods?

 

It sounds like your doctor has diagnosed the problem, and you should be thankful you are not suffering.
