Fever

My husband is a diabetic.  He has a cold and a fever.  What medication would be good for him to take for the fever?

Tylenol or Motrin.  But if he's severely ill with this cold or flu, it can greatly impact his blood sugar levels.

If the fever is high, or he seems more ill than you would expect, or he can't eat and drink as he usually would, or his blood sugars are out of whack, he needs to call the doctor right away.
