I'm really worried because I've been getting a high fever and shivering every 12 hours. Every time I take paracetamol, the fever and shivering go away for a while, but then it just comes back. I recently took a COVID test and it was negative. Why do I keep getting this intermittent fever? After taking paracetamol, I always end up sweating, and then the fever goes down. What could be causing this?

I've been working out for the past couple of weeks, mainly doing pushups every evening, around 100 in 3 sets. But now I've started having this odd sensation where I struggle with breathing and swallowing when I'm having dinner. It's been going on for about three days. The feeling does go away after a while, but I'm worried. Could it have something to do with my chest muscles tightening from the pushups? I don't have asthma or anything like that. What do you think might be causing this?

Salbutamol inhaler and budesonide 200 sos is advised for breathing difficulty.
