Fever: suppress or let it ride?
I came across this article (link below) while looking for current research on the subject. I am recovering from a urinary tract infection that I decided to let my immune system handle without interference.
3 days of 102 fever with frequent urination - every 30 to 45 minutes 24 hours a day. I had decided that if it ever got over 103 I would find an acute care clinic. I was out of town. It got up to 102.7.
I was not able to get much stage 3 sleep and no stage 4 (rem) sleep for 3 nights because of the frequency of urination. But on day 4 my fever broke and the frequency of urination was down to once every two or three hours. I gradually got better after that.
