I'm experiencing a viral fever with a sore throat, feeling weak with body pains, and I've been a bit dizzy lately. This all started yesterday, and my temperature is currently at 99C. What can I do about it? Is this something to worry about?

Sudden Brain Sensation and Radiating Pain
Possible Causes (Besides Aneurysm)
- Migraine or tension headache: Sudden, severe pain, often accompanied by sensitivity to light and sound.
- Trigeminal neuralgia: A condition affecting the nerve responsible for facial sensations, causing sharp, stabbing pain.
- Occipital neuralgia: Pain caused by irritation of the nerves running from the spinal cord to the scalp.
- Cervicogenic headache: Pain referred from the cervical spine (neck) to the head.
- Thunderclap headache: A sudden, severe headache, often described as "the worst headache of my life."
Given Your Family History
- Brain tumor: Although rare, it's essential to consider this possibility due to your family history.
- Other vascular conditions: Conditions like Moyamoya disease or arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) may be worth exploring.
Next Steps
- Consult a primary care physician: Schedule an appointment to discuss your symptoms and family history.
- Neurological evaluation: Your doctor may refer you to a neurologist for further evaluation.
- Imaging tests: Depending on the diagnosis, your doctor may order imaging tests like an MRI or CT scan.

View allI'm a bit confused about my health situation. I took my temperature with a thermometer, and it reads 98.7. I'm worried I might have an internal fever, but Im not entirely sure. Could you tell me what the temperature range for an internal fever usually is?
Internal fever, also known as occult fever, can manifest with normal body temperature readings (98.6-99.5F or 37-37.5C) despite the presence of an underlying infection or inflammation; in such cases, other symptoms like fatigue, chills, sweating, or localized pain may be present

I've been keeping track of my symptoms since I caught covid. Initially, I had a high fever of around 102 for the first three days, but now it's settled to about 99 over the last 48 hours. My Spo2 levels are at 99, and I have a bit of a cough, though it's not too bad. Since today marks my 7th day, I'm wondering if it's necessary for me to start taking Medrol. Is this something I should be concerned about?
Hydration and rest: Keep yourself hydrated and rest adequately to help your immune system fight the virus. Symptom management: Continue with medications like paracetamol for fever or any prescribed cough syrups or other symptom relievers. Follow-up: Regularly monitor your SpO2 levels (especially if symptoms worsen), and if you're unsure about needing steroids, contact your doctor.
