I'm dealing with an upper respiratory tract infection and feeling really tired. Is a 98.8 temperature something to worry about when it comes to fever, or is it just part of the infection?

Question

So, I caught this bad cold and sore throat a few days ago after traveling, probably because of the weather change. I seem to always get hit with a cold when the weather shifts. I started taking Joshanda Hamdards a couple of times a day since it's helped me in the past. But my cough wasn't getting better, so I switched to Ambrolite D and cetzip cetrizine. While the cough improved, the throat pain didn't, so I swapped Cetzip for Montek LC, which I've used before and heard is better. Now Im 3 days into these meds, with 2 days on Cetzip and 1 on Montek LC, Ambrolite D for a day, and Joshanda for about 2 days. My coughs better, but my throat pain's still there and might even be a bit worse; at least there's no fever. I'm wondering if I should take something else for the throat pain or if I should just keep going with what Im taking and for how long?

Question

I'm a bit worried because I recently recovered from dengue, which was confirmed on June 20th. Now, 43 days ago, I had a mild fever and headache. Could this be related to dengue in any way?

Question

I'm a bit confused about how to take the tablets my doctor prescribed. Should I swallow them with water, or just let them dissolve on my tongue? I've been on them for three months now, and I just want to make sure I'm doing it right.
