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* 1. *Monitor fever*: Keep track of your temperature and watch for any signs of fever returning or worsening. 2. *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). 3. *Duration*: If fever persists beyond 3-4 days or worsens, seek medical attention. *Blood Test Considerations* Consider a blood test if you experience: 1. *Severe headache* 2. *Confusion or disorientation* 3. *Difficulty breathing* 4. *Severe abdominal pain* 5. *Vomiting or diarrhea* 6. *Fever above 103F (39.4C)* 7. *Fever lasting more than 4 days*
