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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
you're experiencing fever that's responding to Dolo (Paracetamol), you can continue taking it as directed. However, consider the following:
General Guidance
- Monitor fever: Keep track of your temperature and watch for any signs of fever returning or worsening.
- 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
Consider a blood test if you experience:
- Severe headache
- Confusion or disorientation
- Difficulty breathing
- Severe abdominal pain
- Vomiting or diarrhea
- Fever above 103F (39.4C)
- Fever lasting more than 4 days

Can I take gas medicine on an empty stomach? I've been having a fever since yesterday, and I've been taking paracetamol 500 mg, but my temperature is still 100.7. Should I be concerned about mixing these meds, or is there anything else I should be doing?

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.
