Question

Your father's symptoms of weakness, dizziness, and nausea could be due to post-viral fatigue. To help him feel better, he can take Paracetamol for fever and body aches. He can also take Ondansetron for nausea. Additionally, it is important for him to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If his symptoms persist or worsen, he should seek medical attention.
