I had Valley fever 3 years ago and recovered in about 6 weeks time. Age is over 65. Symptoms now seem similar.Fluctuating fever changing almost hourly from a 3 day high of 101.7 to a low of 96.9.dry cough began day 2 and has increased in frequency but not intensity. Fatigue, loss of appetite and some body aches.Does this sound like a reoccurring of Valley fever? How many more days of fever to tolerate before seeking medical care? Have taken no medication yet. . ..
