My grandmother's been running a fever since this morning. It hit 102 earlier, dropped to 100 after we gave her an antibiotic, but then climbed back up to 102, and now it's at 101. She's also coughing heavily. Im not sure if this could be COVID since we haven't been traveling. Should we be worried and get it checked out, or maybe wait and see for a bit?

Question

I'm a bit concerned because my body temperature is 98.3 F. Does this mean I have a fever? I'm especially worried because of the covid situation. Could you please let me know if this is something to be concerned about?

Question

I've been noticing some chest tightness over the past few days. Before that, I had this weird throat discomfort. It wasn't accompanied by any fever or cold symptoms, but I just felt like I needed to cough, though it wasn't exactly a cough and it seemed to settle down somehow. Anyway, this morning I woke up with a severe headache, and yesterday I ended up vomiting, but it was just gas, nothing serious. I felt slightly better afterward. Could you recommend any remedies for this?
