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 dealing with a 103-degree fever and intense pain in my hands and muscles for the past three days. I also have a cold and cough but no vomiting or digestive issues, and my blood reports came back normal. I'm taking Dolo 650 every 4 hours, as well as Monocef 200mg, Rantac 150mg, and Ascoril syrup. My fever went down last night but came back this morning. Is there any way to get rid of this fever quickly? I'm really worried about what's causing it.

Question

I'm really worried about my condition. I've been dealing with typhoid for the last three months and was on monocef injections. Now, I'm constantly getting a low-grade fever between 99 and 100, especially after even a small amount of exertion, though it gets better with rest. I was just told I have a vitamin D deficiency with a level of 7.3 from the CLIA method, and my blood pressure seems low too. I'm not currently taking any medication. What could be causing all of this, and what should I do next?

Question

I'm dealing with bronchitis and got prescribed Ascoril LS cough syrup. Can you tell me how many days I should be using it? I'm just trying to make sure I'm doing everything right for my recovery.
