I've been feeling a bit off and noticed my temperature is around 98.2F. I'm kind of worried if that's considered a fever, especially since it's summer. Is having a temperature between 97 and 99F something I should be concerned about right now?

I'm suddenly experiencing chills in the afternoons and at night for the past two days, but I don't have a fever. My diet and activities are normal, except when the shivering hits; it lasts about fifteen minutes. What medication can I take today? I'm planning to see a doctor tomorrow. What should I do in the meantime?

I've been dealing with COVID for about ten days, and thankfully most of the symptoms are gone, but I still have this annoying itch in my throat. Its making me uncomfortable. Could you recommend something to help soothe this throat irritation?

You can try using lozenges containing benzocaine or menthol to help soothe the throat irritation. Additionally, you can use a throat spray containing phenol or glycerin to help relieve the itchiness. Make sure to stay hydrated and gargle with warm salt water to further alleviate the discomfort.
