I've had a very low temperature for a week now. It fluctuates from 99.0 to 100.9 rarely popping into the 101.1 range.
I have had very mild symptoms. Headaches, body aches, upset stomach, tired, etc. Nothing major, but just annoying.
I'd like to know if there is anything I should be doing about this? From what I've read online there isn't much a doctor can do? Do I just wait it out and approx. how long does the flu last?
I have no other known medical issues. Is there anything I can do at home to help move this along? Thanks!

SOUNDS LIKE YOU JUST HAD A BUG.....IF IT WAS THE FLU YOU WOULD HAVE HAD A HIGHER FEVER AND ALOT MORE ACHES AND PAINS, TO THE POINT OF STAYING IN BED AND WITH THE FLU THERE ISNT ANYTHING YOU CAN DO BUT KEEP HYDRATED AND REST AND LET IT TAKE ITS COURSE

These are the symptons of the flu. Slightly different from
the one's you describe.
# a high fever (102-104 degrees Fahrenheit), which may last 3-4 days
# a bad headache
# severe general body aches and pains
# fatigue and weakness, which may last for 2-3 weeks
# extreme exhaustion
For Flu , plenty of hot drinks and Lem Sips are highly recommended ......and complete rest (if possible)
Good luck !

The norovirus is a 'stomach flu' that is going around many places now. You're lucky if you get a mild case of it, because you'll be innoculated from at least that strain.
30% of people who get norovirus (winter vomiting disease) are asymptonmatic. 60% of the other 70% do not vomit. It usually only lasts 48 hours.
I would say, if you have any questions about your health, see a doctor!

Hi,
If you've had a fever for a week now, I would go ahead and make an appointment with your doc. Drink lots of fluids and rest.

Take hot baths, take some echinecea (natural herbal supplement that boosts your immune system), drink lots of fluids and get lots of sleep. You'll feel better in 2-3 days.
