I'm feeling really stressed because for the past five months I've been having this constant feeling of my body being hot to the touch, but all my HIV tests have turned out negative. I've done the p24 test, the Western Blot, and the HIV PCR RNA Quantitative. It's really concerning me because I also feel like I have an internal fever. Could there be something else causing these symptoms or should I be looking into other tests? What steps should I take next?

It's important to seek help and talk to someone about what you're going through. In terms of the fever, if it has been persistent and you're feeling unwell, you may need to consider taking some medication to help reduce the fever. You can take Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for fever. However, it's crucial to address the underlying issues causing you distress. Please reach out to a mental health professional or counselor for support.

View allI often find that when I take medication for colds, I end up dealing with a cough afterwards. Is there a cold medicine that doesn't lead to coughing?
Some cold medications can exacerbate coughing. Look for cold medicines that are labeled as "non-drowsy" or "cough-suppressing." Here are some options: - Medications with acetaminophen (Tylenol) and dextromethorphan (Robitussin) can help alleviate cold symptoms without exacerbating cough. - Medications with diphenhydramine (Benadryl) can also provide relief from cold symptoms and may help suppress cough.

I've had a cough and cold for a week now and my complete blood profile came back normal, but my ESR is 75mm. I haven't had any fever, body pain, vomiting, or diarrhea. Currently, I'm on amoxyclav and taking ascoryl syrup. Do you think I need any more medication or any other tests? I'm a bit worried.

I'm really worried about my wife's fever. She initially had a fever, and the doctor suggested some tests. The report came back showing malaria and microfilaria were negative, but the typhoid rapid test was positive. The doctor gave her some medicine, and after 20 days, he prescribed Sepamax 500 Tablet, which she's been taking twice a day. But it's been two months now, and she's still dealing with a fever of around 100 degrees every day. We went back to the doctor and he ordered more tests which again showed negative for IgM and IgG antibodies, but the fever hasn't gone away. I'm really concerned about why the fever persists. Could there be something else going on, and are there any additional tests we should consider? What type of fever could this be?
