Question 1

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?

Accepted Answer

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.

Accepted Answer

Your symptoms suggest a viral infection, possibly influenza or a respiratory virus. The recurring fever pattern is common in such cases. Continue taking Dolo 650 for fever management, and consider adding a humidifier to relieve congestion. Consult your doctor about adding antiviral medication or adjusting your current medication regimen.
