No questions too daft to ask.
I’m the queen of hot flushes. Took two years after treatment finished for for mine to go but if he is spiking a fever then call your contact number would be my advice. If they are fleeting and temporary then they are just like the ones I had and I ignored them.
Let us know how you get on.
