I'm a bit worried and need some advice. I've had a low-grade fever for the past five days, fluctuating between 97.7 in the morning to 99.6 in the evening, along with a mild heavy feeling in my head. The head issue seems to have gotten better in the last two days, and I've reduced my Dolo 650 intake to once in the evening. I used to take it twice a day before. I don't have any other symptomsmy taste is fine, no breathing issues, and my appetite is good. Could this be something serious like COVID? I'm feeling really tense about it and would appreciate some guidance.

Your symptoms of a low-grade fever and mild head heaviness improving over time are reassuring signs. While COVID-19 can cause fever, your lack of other typical symptoms like cough, loss of taste or smell, and breathing difficulties makes it less likely, but not impossible.
Here are some points to consider:
-
Monitor your symptoms: Keep track of your temperature and any new symptoms such as cough, sore throat, difficulty breathing, or loss of taste/smell.
-
Continue supportive care: Taking paracetamol (like Dolo 650) as needed for fever and discomfort is appropriate.
-
Consider testing: If you have any exposure risk or if symptoms worsen or new symptoms develop, getting a COVID-19 test can provide clarity.
-
Rest and hydration: Ensure you get adequate rest and fluids to support recovery.
-
Seek medical advice: If fever persists beyond 7 days, worsens, or if you develop other symptoms, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
Your current situation does not strongly suggest a serious illness, but staying vigilant and cautious is wise. If anxiety persists, discussing your concerns with a healthcare professional can also help provide reassurance and guidance tailored to you.

View allI'm really concerned about my husband's health. He recently got his blood test results and his B12 level is really low at 119. The doctor recommended he take a Hosit tablet every day and mix Convales powder in water. He's been following this regimen for the past 10 days, but he hasn't noticed any improvement. We're wondering if this is the right treatment plan or if he should have had an injection to quickly get his B12 levels up to around 300. What do you think?
The prescribed medications, Hosit (cyanocobalamin) tablets and Convales powder, are oral supplements aimed at increasing vitamin B12 levels; however, given your husband's severe deficiency (119), an injection course might be more effective in rapidly raising levels to the desired range (200-300); consult his doctor to discuss the possibility of switching to injectable B12 or adding it to his current oral regimen.

Can a lymph node under my jaw swell because I've been touching it a lot? I've been doing this for a few days now and I'm getting really worried. Could my habit of touching be causing this swelling?
Yes, continuous touching or irritating a lymph node can cause it to swell. It is important to avoid touching or pressing on the swollen lymph node. You can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen to help reduce any discomfort. If the swelling persists or worsens, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
