I'm dealing with this viral fever and taking dolo 650 for it. I'm certain it's viral, but I'm confused about whether I might need any antibiotics. Could you help me figure out if I should be taking any?

I'm really worried about my dad. He took Lipaglyn 4mg for his high cholesterol as his doctor suggested, but now he's got a fever of 102F, body aches, and his throat is bothering him. We gave him Dolo last night, which brought the fever down a little to 100.5F, but this morning it's back up to 101.5F. We gave him Dolo again, but I'm not sure what else to do since it's Sunday and I can't reach a doctor. What would you suggest we do next?

Its possible that the fever and symptoms are unrelated to Lipaglyn and might be due to an infection. Continue giving Dolo as needed (every 6 hours) to manage the fever and ensure your father stays hydrated. If the symptoms persist or worsen, visit a doctor as soon as possible.

I'm feeling feverish for the past couple of days, and I'm currently on medication for it. Is it okay to sleep in an air-conditioned room while having a fever? Would appreciate any advice.
