Updated

I am a 72 year old male and taking 15 mg of Meloxicam a day for arthritis. I think I have the flu and am running a temperature of 101 degrees. What can I take to fight the temperature?

First and foremost, I'd recommend drinking plenty of (lemon) water to help flush your system out and keep your body cool. You may also want to have some herbal tea on hand with raw honey if you have a stuffy nose or sore throat. Essential oils, such as lavender or peppermint are other options.

Aside from that, having a good amount of fruits and vegetables (during this time onward) will help to strengthen your immune system so you don't get sick as easily in the future.

It will probably have to run it's course, but doing those things should alleviate any symptoms in the mean time.

I hope this helps!

Are you able to take Acetaminophen?

Learn more Acetaminophen details here.

It may help with the fever, if the Meloxicam isn't but you shouldn't take it if you've been told not to do so, thus you should check first and make sure that you can.

Do you take any other medications or have any other medical conditions?
