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.

I've been dealing with a fever and cold for about five days, and now I'm feeling really nauseous with a bad backache and this constant weakness for the past three days. It's like I can't sit, rest, or even walk without feeling awful. Eating's been impossible, too. I also started my periods three days ago. Is this normal after having a fever, or should I be worried about something else going on?

I'm really worried because my roommate just caught chicken pox while riding the metro, and I'm trying everything to not catch it too. I'm staying away from him and keeping his things separate. But since we're sharing the same room, is there still a chance I could end up getting infected?

Yes ,isolation is advised to the patient.

I've just recovered from a viral fever, but during that time, my CRP levels shot up to 25. I took medicine for about six days and got retested; now it's down to 5.27. I read online that CRP levels above 3 could indicate a risk of heart disease. Should I be worried about my current level? Could it still be elevated because of the fever, or does it say something about my heart health? Is it usual for CRP to be slightly higher after a viral infection?

Raise in crp indicates recent infection no need to worry consume vitamin rich foods and stay hydrated that will work
