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.

View allI'm dealing with a sore throat and I'm wondering if it would be better to use Betadine Gargle or if just a salt water gargle is enough?

I had gotten the Covishield vaccine and about 12 hours later, I started experiencing chills and fever. I took Dolo a few times at around 10:30 pm, 3 am, 7:45 am, and 1 pm. However, by 6, I still had body pain and fever, so I took Meftal Forte. Someone mentioned to me that taking Meftal Forte was not a good idea. Fortunately, most of my symptoms are gone now, just a slight ache remains. Could you please let me know if it was okay to take Meftal Forte in this situation? I'm feeling a bit worried about it.
Taking Meftal Forte (a combination of mefenamic acid and paracetamol) after Dolo (paracetamol) is generally not recommended due to the increased risk of adverse effects, such as stomach ulcers and bleeding; however, since you've already taken it and your symptoms have resolved

I'm really concerned about my sister. She was just diagnosed with dengue yesterday, and it was her first day of having a fever. The doctor prescribed pcm and pan, but her fever hasn't come down at all. Her temperature is stuck at 104.6, and her platelet count is 2 lakhs. Should I be worried? Also, any suggestions on what she can eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner that might be suitable for her? She's 30 years old and currently experiencing full body pain, saying her body is burning. I'm really anxious since she hasn't eaten anything yet. Is there something I can do to help her feel better? And is it okay to give her solo again now since I gave her some at 9 pm last night?
