I'm feeling like I have a fever, but when I check my body temperature, it seems normal. I haven't got a thermometer handy right now. What should I do? Is there a specific medicine you'd recommend for this?

If you're experiencing internal feverish sensations without a raised body temperature, you can try taking Paracetamol (Crocin, Calpol, or equivalent) 500mg-1000mg, but if symptoms persist or worsen, consult a doctor to rule out underlying conditions that may require specific treatment.

Question

I've been giving Dolo to treat a fever that's been going on for four days now. I'm just wondering, would switching to Calpol give better results?

I've been having a constant fever between 99 and 101 for the last 15 days. I feel pretty normal most of the time, but when it gets closer to 101, I just get really sleepy. I did a blood test, and it showed my hemoglobin is a bit low, but the platelet count is normal. I also tested negative for malaria, and my SPG report is fine. I've already taken two 5-day courses of antibiotics as prescribed by the doctor, but the fever is still there. There's no other problem, but I'm really curious about why this is happening. Any ideas?

I'm having some throat pain and went to see a doctor who prescribed me roxid 150. Now my stomach's hurting, and I'm wondering if it's okay to take a paracetamol 650 with the roxid 150. Is that safe?
