I've been experiencing these body aches and mild fever every few weeks, like clockwork, about every 20 days. The aches are really intense, to the point where even my ears and fingers hurt, and I just feel feverish. It's weird because sometimes I think I have a fever, but when I check with a thermometer, it usually reads normal. Even so, I feel this internal feverishness and a general sense of weakness. What could be causing these recurring body pains and this mild feverish feeling? Is there something going on that I should be worried about?

It sounds like you might be experiencing recurrent episodes of a viral infection, inflammatory response, or an underlying autoimmune condition. Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or viral infections can cause body aches and a low-grade fever, even without a measurable temperature increase. Its important to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying causes and get a proper diagnosis.

I'm 52 and my ASO titer is 459. Could this affect my heart or kidneys? What precautions should I take?

An elevated ASO (anti-streptolysin O) titer can indicate a recent streptococcal infection. This infection can potentially lead to complications such as rheumatic fever, which can affect the heart and kidneys. To prevent complications, it is important to treat the underlying streptococcal infection with antibiotics. In this case, you can take a course of antibiotics such as Penicillin V at a dosage of 500mg four times a day for 10 days. Additionally, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for monitoring and further management. It is also advisable to rest, stay hydrated, and maintain a healthy lifestyle to support your recovery

I've just found out that I've got a positive ASO titre in my test results, and it's freaking me out a bit. I've been dealing with joint pain, and my doctor recommended some tests, including the RA factor and ASO titre, and while the RA came back normal, the ASO titre was positive. I tried reading up on what ASO is online, but I'm still not clear on how and why it happens. Is it something really serious? Like, could it really mess with my joints and heart valves? I'm just really anxious about what all this means for my health. Any insights would be super helpful.

ASO titre comes positive in many cases,one among them is heart disease, don't worry maintain healthy lifestyle, visit your doctor for complete evaluation and appropriate management
