I started with a cough 3 days ago, noticed the last two nights that I've been running a low grade fever from about 4:30 p.m to 10 or 11 p.m., when it goes back down. The first night it ranged from 99.5 to 100.0, last night is went from 99.5 to 100.9. Also, both nights, I'm waking around 4 am from sweating - not enough to soak the bed cothes but definitely damp shirt and hair from sweat, even though the fever has not returned during that time. Also, I should add that I don't take tylenol or anything for the fever as to give my body a chance to 'kill' whatever is going on.
In the morning my temp is normal. The cough is not constant, but happens more when I take a deep breath and the exhale wants to come out forcefully. It's a mucus-y cough, but not able to get much "out", there's some chest tightness.
I'm 41 years old, female, but no health insurance. :(
Just trying to determine how worried I should be.
