Guest guest Posted October 21, 2001 Report Share Posted October 21, 2001 Autumn, I am not sure what the clinical cause of the temp fluctuations but I often will run down to 95 w/ a bad illness or up to 104. Sometimes Motrin can cause a really low temp, but I am not sure exactly why. Anyway, I know this isn't much help at all. I hope everyone is feeling better soon.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2001 Report Share Posted October 21, 2001 Autumn - Macey also crashes with Motrin. and I pretty much never take it because it messes with our stomachs so much and Les is a Goody's person. I've always heard though that Motrin/Advil can cause drastic drops in temp when a person has an elevated temp and takes it. Hope everyone is feeling better soon.
