Does he have the flu?


About seven or so weeks ago, I had an upper respitory flu (fever, cough, sore throat, etc.). So, it is possible that he got the flu from me.

Since Monday, my fiance has had an on-again/off-again fever. It has gotten better it seems. I don't think he's had a fever today so far. Regardless, he doesn't seem to have any other symptoms.

Is it the flu? Should we be concerned? Is it doctor worthy?

it may be a slight infection and yes..it probably was contagious.. some times one person can be just slightly sick with something..but the next person can get really nasty sick.so if he does not seem to be improving in ..(or if his fever spikes,or he becomes nauseous) ..say..4/5 days..he should probably see a doc. good luck!

Kids get colds, men get the flu. Women get on with it.

Seriously though, that would be a *really* long incubation period for transmission of your influenza. I think it's more likely that he picked up something else.

The concerns with fever are how high and how long it goes on for. Is his going above 102*F? Can you call a helpline at the HMO or such for professional advice?

From what you've said, I don't see anything much to worry about, but if the fever shoots up or lingers it's better to be safe and ask the pros. Hopefully a phone call will suffice.

A tepid bath or shower might help. Also, have him get plenty of rest. I sometimes get a fever when I'm really tired.
