Can you clarify your question for us please? Do you have a fever? Or is your body temperature slightly elevated?
There are many possibilities as to why you may have a fever. A fever may be a response to a viral or bacterial infection, cause by heat exhaustion, an extreme sunburn, due to certain immunizations, or medications. Usually a fever is treated with Acetaminophen or Motrin if it is high. A low-grade fever is actually not advised to be lowered due to masking of symptoms and prolonged illness.
Please let us know if this is what you were asking.
