Question

I'm a bit worried and need some advice. I've had a low-grade fever for the past five days, fluctuating between 97.7 in the morning to 99.6 in the evening, along with a mild heavy feeling in my head. The head issue seems to have gotten better in the last two days, and I've reduced my Dolo 650 intake to once in the evening. I used to take it twice a day before.

I'm feeling really tense about it and would appreciate some guidance.

Question

I'm a bit worried because I've had a dry cough for about a week, and now the right side of my back is swollen. I went to the doctor, and she said the swelling is from the cough and it's nothing serious. The swelling has gone down, but I'm still feeling a little pain around my right rib area. Should I be concerned about this lingering pain? Could it be something more than just from the cough?
