I'm feeling really under the weather with a fever that I've had for the past two days and it just seems to be getting worse. Can you tell me which type of doctor I should consult for fever and cold symptoms?

View allI'm really worried about my mom. She's diabetic and has been dealing with this cold and fever for a while now. Her body temperature is pretty high, and she's feeling very weak, which is so unlike her since she used to be really active. There's no coughing involved, but I'm not sure which medicine would be best for her in this situation. Any advice?
Fever in a diabetic will subside only if blood sugar is under control. Paracetamol and cetrizine for fever and a course of antibiotic since we cant take a risk in a diabetic elderly.. will worsen quickly.. better consult and start treatment.

I'm dealing with a vitamin deficiency, and my doctor told me to take Subneuro B6 tablets, but I can't find them anywhere. The pharmacist gave me 2b12 capsules instead as a substitute. Is it okay to switch to 2b12 capsules, and what dosage would you recommend?
Yes you can take it no problem ,consume it one tablet at bed time

I'm feeling a bit of warmth in my back and sometimes it feels like I have a fever when I touch my neck, but I don't actually feel feverish inside. The heat in my back is noticeable, and I'm struggling to explain it properly. Can you help me understand what might be causing this?
You may be experiencing symptoms of a mild fever. The warmth in your back could be a sign of increased body temperature. I recommend taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed to help reduce the fever and discomfort. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
