I'm really worried about my dad. He took Lipaglyn 4mg for his high cholesterol as his doctor suggested, but now he's got a fever of 102F, body aches, and his throat is bothering him. We gave him Dolo last night, which brought the fever down a little to 100.5F, but this morning it's back up to 101.5F. We gave him Dolo again, but I'm not sure what else to do since it's Sunday and I can't reach a doctor. What would you suggest we do next?

Its possible that the fever and symptoms are unrelated to Lipaglyn and might be due to an infection. Continue giving Dolo as needed (every 6 hours) to manage the fever and ensure your father stays hydrated. If the symptoms persist or worsen, visit a doctor as soon as possible.

I ate with my hands just about 3040 seconds after using a hand sanitizer and could still smell it on my hands. The sanitizer has 70% Isopropyl Alcohol, and I read somewhere that consuming it can be harmful. My hands were dry when I ate, but I'm a bit worried if there's any risk from the sanitizer residue. Is everything okay?
