What can I do to bring it down since I can't get any medicine right now? It's the middle of the night, and I need some sleep. I've already tried breathing exercises. Do you have any other advice?

If you are unable to get medicine right now, you can try taking over-the-counter acetaminophen (Tylenol) at a dose of 500mg to help reduce any pain or fever that may be keeping you awake. Additionally, you can try using a cold compress on your forehead to help bring down your temperature and promote relaxation. Make sure to stay hydrated and maintain a comfortable sleep environment. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention as soon as possible.

I've been noticing something odd with my body temperatureit rises to about 98.3 or 98.4 degrees Fahrenheit in the afternoon and evening, but it seems to dip below 98 degrees in the mornings and at night. Is this normal, or should I be concerned about these fluctuations?

A fluctuating body temperature between 98F and 98.4F throughout the day is generally considered normal, as the body's temperature naturally varies due to factors like circadian rhythms, physical activity, and environmental conditions, but if you're concerned or experience other symptoms like fever, chills, or fatigue, consult a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying health issues.

Why do I feel feverish but no fever?

One can feel hot without significant fever after having spicy foods or during stress and anxiety, exposure to humid climate. Hormonal conditions such as menopause and during ovulation time, you may feel hot. Thyroid imbalance may also cause you to feel hot.

I'm a bit puzzled about something. My Alkaline phosphatase level came back at 135. I've never had alcohol and I'm not experiencing any digestive or stomach problems. Is this level something I should be concerned about, or is it considered normal?

In summary, 135 IUL is not necessarily abnormal, but it's worth monitoring in consultation with your healthcare provider if you have any other symptoms or health concerns
