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?

I've been dealing with a cough, cold, and fever for the past three days. I've tried taking Wincold and paracetamol, but I haven't felt any better. My nose is runny, I have a headache, and my whole body hurts. Could you suggest some medicines that might actually help with these symptoms?

I'm really concerned because even though I tested negative for COVID on April 12, I'm still feeling awful. My chest feels congested, and there's this constant heaviness in my head. Plus, my legs ache all the time and I feel fatigued throughout the day. I've had an X-ray and a CT scan, and they both show my lungs are clear, but I'm not sure what else could be going on. Could you help me understand what's happening?

I'm really concerned because I had a fever in the morning, and after I took some medicine, it went away. But then it came back again in the afternoon and at night. Is this normal, or should I be worried about this recurring fever? Would you suggest anything different I should try or maybe a specific kind of medicine?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a recurring fever. To help manage your symptoms, you can take Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed to reduce the fever. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If the fever persists or worsens, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
