I'm feeling really worried because I've had a fever for the last four days. I got some tests done and my urine epithelial cells count came back at 45, but everything else in the urine test, including pus cells, is within the normal range. Should I be concerned about the high epithelial cells, or could it just be related to the fever? Would love to get your advice on this.

View allI've been dealing with a cold, cough, and fever about 10 to 15 days ago. Now, even though my body still feels hot, there's no fever when I use a thermometer. I'm also experiencing a bit of weakness. Any idea what these symptoms could mean? What medication could help prevent or cure this?
These symptoms could be related to a post-viral syndrome, where your body is still recovering from the previous cold, cough, and fever. The feeling of body heat without an actual fever could be due to residual inflammation or immune response. The slight weakness may also be a lingering effect of the previous illness. To help alleviate these symptoms, you can consider taking a medication like Paracetamol (brand name: Tylenol) for any discomfort or perceived feverishness. Additionally, you may benefit from over-the-counter cough syrups like Dextromethorphan (brand name: Robitussin) for any lingering cough. Make sure to get plenty of rest, stay hydrated, and eat nutritious foods to support your body's recovery.

I'm trying to figure out what the normal body temperature is. At what point should I start worrying that it's actually a fever? Also, when is it appropriate to consider taking paracetamol? I'm feeling a bit confused about it.

I've been dealing with this viral fever, and my doctor recommended I take Zyrcold syrup. But now I've started having loose motions, and I'm worried that the syrup might be causing it. Could Zyrcold be the reason for this? Should I stop taking it or do something different?
Yes, in rare cases it can cause diarrhea but it will get cured soon.Drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration, which can occur with diarrhea. Drink water, oral rehydration solutions (ORS), clear soups, or electrolyte drinks.
