Sanjay has a fever, and his doctor gives him the following prescription for a fever-reducing medication: acetaminophen 200 mg bid until temperature (its a down arrow but I don't have it on my phone so um... v) to 98.6°F"

What is the spelled-out form of this prescription?

Answer:

Acetaminophen 200 milligrams twice a day until temperature decreases to 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit

Step-by-step explanation:

Bid means bi-daily, I believe. So twice a day, and the arrow means until the temperature decreases to the said amount. Just for a little extra info, tid means tri-daily.
