I've been dealing with a cold for the last three days and started feeling feverish the day before yesterday. I began taking Dolo 650, which helped a bit, but the feverish feeling returned in the evening. So, I also added Levo Citrizen and took both medications in the morning and at night. Yesterday, I ended up with a bad headache and took the same meds again last night. This morning, I feel a bit better, but I still have the cold, a light cough, and some feverish feelings. My temperature has been between 94 to 98F for the past three days. What do you suggest I do, and can you recommend any specific medications?

View allI've had a fever for the past three days, with my temperature fluctuating between 98.6 and 102. I get really cold in the evenings, probably because of the sweating, and I'm worried it's making the fever worse since I don't change my shirt soon enough. I don't have any body, joint, or muscle pain, but my nose is a bit runny and my throat hurts slightly. Could this be something serious, or is there anything specific I should do to get better quickly?
Your symptoms, including fever, sweating, chills, runny nose, and slight throat pain, suggest a possible viral upper respiratory tract infection, such as a common cold or flu; however, to rule out other causes like bacterial infections or pneumonia, consider consulting a doctor for a physical examination, and possibly, a rapid antigen test or chest X-ray.

I'm noticing that my right chest is smaller than my left one. Is this something normal, or should I be concerned and look into it further? What do you suggest I do about it?
It is not uncommon for one breast to be slightly larger than the other. However, if you notice a significant difference in size between your right and left breasts, it is recommended to consult a doctor for further evaluation. Depending on the cause, treatment options may include hormonal therapy or surgical intervention.

I got bitten by a rat about a week ago and went to see a doctor. He gave me a tetanus shot but said I didn't need the anti-rabies injection. I'm anxious about not getting those rabies shots. Is that normal, or did I miss out on something important?
If your doctor has assessed your rat bite and determined that you do not require an anti-rabies injection, then you should be fine. However, it is important to monitor the bite wound for any signs of infection or unusual symptoms. In case you experience any redness, swelling, pain, or discharge from the wound, please consult your doctor immediately.
