I'm just dealing with a fever right now and noticing it's getting better after taking Dolo. Should I stick with this or maybe think about getting a blood test done? What do you suggest?

you're experiencing fever that's responding to Dolo (Paracetamol), you can continue taking it as directed. However, consider the following:

General Guidance

Dolo dosage: Ensure you're taking the recommended dose (500-1000 mg every 4-6 hours) and not exceeding the maximum daily limit (4000 mg).

Duration: If fever persists beyond 3-4 days or worsens, seek medical attention.

Blood Test Considerations

Severe headache

Confusion or disorientation

Difficulty breathing

Severe abdominal pain

Vomiting or diarrhea

Fever above 103F (39.4C)

I'm dealing with a cold, fever, and a throat infection right now. My fever is pretty mild, so I'm wondering if it's alright to take Sinarest along with Paracetamol Dolo. What do you think?

Yes you can take it

I'm experiencing something strange where my head feels really hot, but my hands and legs are actually cold. What could be causing this? I'm just trying to understand why my body temperature would be different in those areas. It's kind of worrying me.

An increase in body temperature localized to the head, while hands and legs remain cold, can be caused by various factors, including stress or anxiety, hormonal fluctuations, dehydration, poor blood circulation, or underlying medical conditions such as hyperthyroidism, migraines, or multiple sclerosis

I'm feeling pretty miserable with a cold and fever for the past couple of days. The cold symptoms are really intense, and although I only felt the fever internally yesterday, things seem to be getting worse. What should I do about this? Is there anything specific I should be worried about, or any remedies youd recommend to help me feel better?

-Sorry to hear you're feeling unwell! It sounds like the cold is hitting you harder than the fever. Make sure to rest, stay hydrated, and consider steam inhalation or a saline nasal spray for relief. If it worsens, dont hesitate to see a doctor.
