Fever and Dacogen
Neel;
If your father is running a low grade temp - 100 or below - I have been told by our Docs that it is safe to administer the Dacogen - but if it has been holding steady at that rate or above for 3 or more days, then his system is already compromised, and I agree with Briggita - hold the Dacogen - since we know the Dacogen will lower his levels as well. Good luck to you.
