How much unexplained weight loss is bad?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Weight loss of five percent of body weight over a period of 6 - 12 months in the absence of trying to loose weight is considered an unexplained weight loss which is not good and needs a doctor's evaluation.

View allI'm really worried about my wife. She's running a fever, and her temperature is at 99.9. I wanted to check if it's okay to give her NICIP PLUS. What do you think?
NICIP PLUS is a combination medication containing Paracetamol, Nimesulide, and Serratiopeptidase. It is commonly used for fever and pain relief. However, it is important to note that Nimesulide is not recommended in many countries due to its potential side effects on the liver. For fever relief, you can consider giving her PARACETAMOL 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed. Make sure to keep her well-hydrated and monitor her temperature regularly. If the fever persists or worsens, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm seeing my fever fluctuate between 98 and 99.7 degrees, and I've been feeling really weak. I'm also really stressed about it. Can you tell me what might be going on?
A temperature range of 98-99.7F (36.7-37.6C) is slightly below or within the normal range, but when combined with body weakness and fatigue, it could indicate a low-grade infection, inflammation, or a viral illness, and it's also possible that you might be experiencing a post-viral fatigue syndrome or a mild case of COVID-19, so it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and guidance.
