I got my first vaccine shot on May 5th. I noticed some swelling at the injection site right away, and the pain was manageable for four days. But today, my entire arm is really hurting, and it's become unbearable. I resumed taking my alprazolam today - could this pain be because of that?

I've been dealing with a cold and body ache for about a week now. When I got some blood tests done, they showed I have both Typhoid and Malaria. It's been tough, and I've been taking medication for the past three days, but I'm still not feeling much better. Another thing that's bothering me is this really dark yellow urine I've noticed since yesterday. Could this be because of the medicines I'm taking? Is this something I should be worried about?

Persistent Fever, Muscle Pain, and Headache _Possible Causes_ 1. _Viral infections_: Influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), or other viral infections can cause persistent fever, muscle pain, and headache. 2. _Bacterial infections_: Prolonged use of Augmentin (amoxicillin-clavulanate) without improvement suggests the infection might be resistant to the antibiotic or not bacterial in nature. 3. _Other conditions_: Autoimmune disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, can cause persistent fever, muscle pain, and headache. _Recommendations_ 1. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or an infectious disease specialist to reassess your symptoms and adjust treatment. 2. _Blood tests and imaging studies_: Your doctor may order blood tests (e.g., complete blood count, inflammatory markers) and imaging studies (e.g., chest X-ray, ultrasound) to rule out underlying conditions. 3. _Antiviral medication or alternative antibiotics_: Depending on the diagnosis, your doctor may prescribe antiviral medication or alternative antibiotics. 4. _Pain management_: Continue taking Paracetamol (acetaminophen) as directed for pain relief. 5. _Rest and hydration_: Ensure you're getting plenty of rest and staying hydrated to help your body recover.

My dad suddenly got a fever last night, and it was at 101. I gave him some medicine, but the fever only went down to 100.4 and stayed like that all night. Now it's shot up to 103, and I tried giving him Dolo 650, but it's not helping. Can you help me figure out what's causing the fever?
