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

How long does it usually take to test negative for COVID after testing positive? I'm trying to get an idea of what to expect.

Had a penicillin shot for syphilis in my lower hip about 5 days back. The pain was pretty bad for a couple of days but then got better. Now I've got this hard lump at the injection site. Theres no redness or irritation and it's not visible, but I can feel it when I touch it, it's hard and a bit sore. Tried using a hot compress but the lump's still there. Should I be worried about it?

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?
