Question 1

Is it normal for my dad to shiver and have a high fever after a CECT scan? His temperature is around 102 degrees Celsius, and we've given him an antiallergic medicine and paracetamol, but it hasn't lowered. Could this be a dangerous reaction, or will he feel better soon? I'm worried because he's diabetic and has high blood pressure with a reading of 156100. Should I take him to the hospital, or wait it out?

Accepted Answer

Continue all the medications as advised by the physician.

Question 2

I'm currently taking Clavam 650 for my cold, runny nose, and cough, and I've been using Dolo 650 for fever starting today. But I've heard about this AB-Flo-N tablet and was wondering if it's better for dealing with cold and cough symptoms than Clavam 650, or is it only meant for asthma?

Accepted Answer

Viral fevers are self limiting
You're taking antibiotics, paracetamol
Continue with the course
Be prepared to get well by day 3 onwards
Steam inhalation helps
Salt gargling helps
No side effects

Question 3

I've been dealing with a high fever for three days, and it kept staying over 101 and even hit 103.5 at one point before dropping to 99.5 on the same day. I checked in with a doctor and was told to take Dolo 650 and Meftal Forte, which I did. But now, three days later, I'm still feeling super weak, sleeping around 18 hours a day. Some old muscle pains in my left hand have started up again too, which might be from being so weak. I've been taking Neromet, a multi-vitamin, and vitamin C tablets, but they're not helping much. Today I've noticed redness all over my body, which I think could be an allergic reaction to some medication since this has never happened before. What could be going on here?

Accepted Answer

Hi Sunil, it seems like your body is still recovering from the fever, which is causing the prolonged weakness and muscle pain. The redness could be an allergic reaction to the medication, and it's important to consult your doctor to rule out any severe reactions. Rest, hydration, and monitoring your symptoms closely are key; if the redness worsens or new symptoms appear, seek immediate medical attention.

I'm a bit concerned about whether I need to complete the full 5-day course of Augmentin 625 if I'm already feeling better after just 3 days of taking it twice a day. Also, in the future, if I get mild cold and fever, is it okay to just use amoxyllin for 3 days instead of a longer course?

Bettr to take it for 5 days twice in a day and follow as adviced by your doctor
