What can be done to reduce the temperature and when should we consult? What can cause this?
28-year-old woman
My spouse has had a fever for 24 hours. It started yesterday in the daytime and in the evening it started to be always between 38.2-39.2 buccal. His only other symptom is that he has a sore throat when he swallows. He has 2 negative covid tests. Tonight he is still between 38.4-38.8.

Good morning, ma'am,
Tylenol is the first-line treatment for fever and throat pain. Encourage your spouse to drink plenty of fluids, cold or hot, depending on his or her preference.
If the fever persists for 72 hours, you should consult a physician.
I will remain available if you have any further questions!
Sincerely,
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
