I've been dealing with a cold, fever, and body pain for the past two days. I've also been getting frequent headaches and my fever comes and goes. Do you think this is something serious or just a regular flu? What can I do to start feeling better?

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.

Can viral fever come back even if it's the same season? I had viral fever about a month ago but now my throat feels like it might be infected again. I did a five-day antibiotic course the last time I got sick. Is it possible that I could have viral fever again, and what should I do now?

yes take paracetamol and cetrizine tablet
