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 currently taking tablets, supplements, and multivitamins, but I'm not seeing any improvement. Can you recommend an injection that could help boost my stamina?
Instead of relying solely on multivitamin tablets, consider consulting a healthcare professional about vitamin B12 injections, which can help boost energy levels and improve stamina, especially if you have a deficiency; however, it's essential to undergo a blood test to determine the underlying cause of your fatigue and rule out any underlying medical conditions that may require specific treatment.

I'm feeling pretty worried because I've been experiencing weakness, a mild fever, pain just below my ribs, loss of appetite, and dizziness. When I went to the doctor, they said I have typhoid and that the pain below my ribs is due to swelling in my spleen. They did a Widal test and a blood test. Lately, I've also started having pain in my left shoulder. I'm not sure if the medicine the doctor prescribed is meant to treat both the typhoid and the spleen issue. Should I consider consulting another doctor about this? The prescription says I should take Tab Pyroflox, Olgerd D, Dolo 650, and SunUp S.

I was supposed to take one azithromycin tablet of 500 mg a day for three days, but today I ended up taking two instead, with an 8-hour gap in between. Should I be worried about this or is it not a big deal?
It is important not to panic. Just continue with the remaining dose as prescribed. So, for the next 2 days, take 1 tablet of azithromycin (500 mg) each day as originally instructed. This deviation from the prescribed dosing schedule is unlikely to cause any significant harm. Just ensure you follow the correct dosage for the remaining days.
