I'm feeling a bit of warmth in my back and sometimes it feels like I have a fever when I touch my neck, but I don't actually feel feverish inside. The heat in my back is noticeable, and I'm struggling to explain it properly. Can you help me understand what might be causing this?
You may be experiencing symptoms of a mild fever. The warmth in your back could be a sign of increased body temperature. I recommend taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed to help reduce the fever and discomfort. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
