Fever is possibly the most commonly diagnosed health condition as well as the body’s first signal of a disease or infection. The thermoregulatory set-point of the body rises in order to deal with any faulty mechanisms within the body. Fevers are usually characterized by cold bouts as well as increased muscle tone, heart rate and shivering. Low grade fever is a mild increase in the normal body temperature for an individual, usually ranging from 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit to 102.2 degrees.

Signs and Symptoms
Signs and symptoms of a low-grade fever may include:
-- Sweating
-- Shivering
-- Headache
-- Muscle aches

Recommendations for Treating Low-Grade Fever
-- Rest and drink plenty of fluids.
-- You can also place a cold, damp washcloth on your forehead or the back of your neck while you’re resting. And you can try some other tricks to help you bring down your fever.
-- Call a doctor if your fever is accompanied by a severe headache, stiff neck, shortness of breath, or other unusual signs or symptoms.
-- To treat your fever associated with cold or flu (or other symptoms like a cough, sore throat, headache, and minor aches and pains), you can take over-the-counter medications such as NyQuil or DayQuil, which temporarily relieve common cold and flu symptoms, including fever.
