I'm really worried about this fever I've been dealing with since last week. It's been coming and going, and I'm also struggling with a cold. Every time I take medicine, I feel better for a few hours, but then the fever just comes back. What could be causing this, and how can I get it under control?

Your recurring fever and cold symptoms, despite temporary relief from medication, may indicate a underlying infection, such as a viral or bacterial infection, sinusitis, or a secondary infection like pneumonia or bronchitis; consider consulting a doctor for a thorough evaluation, including a physical examination, blood tests, and possibly a chest X-ray, to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment, which may include antibiotics, antivirals, or anti-inflammatory medications

I'm a bit concerned about this pain I'm feeling in my left arm after a blood test, especially since I usually don't have any issues with them. It's weird because I had one not too long ago and felt fine. Now, it hurts a bit when I try to straighten my arm, and it just doesn't seem like my normal arm. Is this something I should be worried about?

Don't worry it subsides on its own
