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.

Question

I'm wondering about this pain I've been having for the past 34 days. It's like this stabbing or sometimes dull ache when I take a deep breath, especially on the upper left side of my back. It also comes on when I twist my back to the left or right. Plus, I've been feeling a bit more tired and lethargic than usual. Do you have any idea what's going on with me?

Question

I'm a bit confused and worried. The doctor first suggested I take Montec LC for three days, but then after one day, they added Azee500 for another three days. Is it okay to take both medications at the same time, or could there be any issues with that?

Question

I'm dealing with fever, loose motion, and vomiting since this morning, and I'm feeling so weak I cant even make it downstairs to see a doctor. What could be causing this? Should I be worried and what can I do at home to feel better?
