Question 1

I'm a bit worried about my family member. He had a cold on the 14th and 15th, and then on the 16th, he started having a fever along with a headache and pain in both legs, which kept him up all night. Whenever he gets a fever, his legs usually hurt too. Weve been giving him crosin and other meds as advised by a clinic doctor. He seemed okay this morning, but now the pain is back. Hes really sensitive, so Im looking for guidance on how to help him feel better. What do you think we should do?

You can take Paracetamol 500mg every 6 hours as needed for fever and body aches. Additionally, you should monitor your platelet count regularly and seek medical attention if you experience any warning signs such as persistent vomiting, severe abdominal pain, or bleeding.
