Fever Chart

|
This chart is intended to keep a record of your temperatures for review when you see us. Please do not worry about the temperatures you may record. Our temperature is a sign of our health status and is not of any harm to us. You may treat your temperature with Tylenol or Motrin or Aleve if you are not allergic or intolerant of these medications. We recommend you only treat the temperature if you feel badly from its elevation. If further serious problems should develop, seek medical care. Any emergency symptoms that develop other than the temperature should be managed in an Emergency Room at your nearest hospital. The textbook definition of a fever is an oral temperature of 100.5 or greater noted on more than one occasion during the same illness.
Instructions: Take your temperature with the same thermometer each time. Do not eat or drink anything within 20 minutes before taking your temperature. We recommend taking the measurements first upon awakening and at 8PM each evening. You may add any temperature measurement you wish. Please note that once we have established an elevated temperature it is not necessary to keep taking it to see how high it gets up to, as the relative degree of elevation varies from person to person.
