I've noticed some white spots in the back of my throat and it's been feeling pretty scratchy. I'm worried it might be strep throat. I've already taken some Ibuprofen to ward off a fever, but I'm still unsure if it's really strep. What should I do next?

I've been feeling really hot inside for over 10 days now. At first, I thought it might be a viral fever, but it's been going on too long. My mouth, hands, and feet are constantly warm, and it's really making it hard for me to focus on anything. What can I do?

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?

Question

I'm feeling under the weather with a fever today. I've heard mixed things about eating guava when you're sick. Some say it might make my fever worse, while others say it won't really impact my health. I'm not sure what to believe. Can you help me figure out if munching on some guava is a good idea or if I should steer clear?
