I guess it is more than sinuses because during the day I am around 97 to 99. Then at night the last few day my temp increases to around 101 to 103. This is after not drinking anything or eating anything for 30 minutes.

My guess is my cancer is trying to sneak back up on me. Night sweats which I don't have could be the same as a 101 to 103 temp just at night.

I think it might also just be sinuses due to the pollen which is normal for me.

Wife is finally making me go to the doctor, but I think I can man up for a few more days.

I had Luekemia and then Lymphoma with both inpatient procedures and bone marrow transplant years ago.

I kind of just accept it.

your body temp should drop at night not rise.

I'd side with your wife. Manning up against fevers above 101 es no bueno.

It's a historically bad time for allergies right now.

Temp >100.4 = fever. If you run a fever for multiple days in a row, it's worth visiting your PCP.

My patients tend to have the high fevers at night if they are gonna have a fever.



That being said....with your history you should be seeing someone ASAP

The fact that you even asked this tells me the fever has caused brain damage. You need to see a doctor ASAP!

When I had hairy cell leukemia a few years back, the nights sweats would drench the bed when the fever broke. That was some scary shite. Go. To. Doctor.
