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'm dealing with a persistent cough for about a week now, along with a stuffy nose, an itchy feeling in my throat, and a lot of sneezing. I also had a fever for a couple of days, but that's gone away. Should I be worried about these symptoms, and is there anything specific I should do to start feeling better?

take syrup ascoril twice a day for 5 days and tablet amoxyclav for 5 days twice a day

We've decided to adopt and need to get a medical fitness certificate for the CARA registration. Were a bit lost and could use some help figuring out where to get this done and what exactly the procedure involves. Could you guide us on this?

You can get a medical fitness certificate for CARA registration from any registered medical practitioner or government hospital. The doctor will conduct a basic physical examination and may request standard tests like blood work or a chest X-ray to confirm your overall health. Simply inform the doctor that the certificate is for adoption purposes under CARA guidelines.

I'm a bit concerned and could use some advice. A couple of nights ago, I was just hanging out on my balcony, and a bat landed on my right toe for a second or two. I quickly moved it away, and there's no sign of a bite or a scratch, but I'm still worried. My leg's been having this mild pain and tingling, and my head kind of feels swollen inside. I did visit a doctor, and she assured me there's no evidence of a bite or scratch, so rabies isn't a possibility. I'm still feeling anxious, though, and would love your thoughts on this.

Continue same treatment as advised by the physician.
