I've been feeling a bit off since this morning. I had a sore throat for a couple of days but did some morning gurgling with Glycoceptol and it seemed to do the trick. But now I've got this body ache that disappeared pretty quickly after I got up, and I'm left with a mild headache and feeling a bit feverish. It doesn't seem like the fever's even hitting 99 F. Should I be concerned or just wait it out?

I'm feeling pretty worried because I've been dealing with a fever, sore throat, and this dry cough for the past three days. I saw a doctor and started on Cifran 500 mg and Crocine. But now I've started shivering, and my temperature is around 99.4F. Do you have any advice on what I should do next? Its starting to concern me.
To help manage your symptoms: Medication 1. Continue Cifran 500 mg: Complete the full course as prescribed by your doctor to ensure the infection is fully treated. 2. Crocine: Continue taking Crocine as directed for fever management. Additional Measures 1. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids, such as water, clear broths, and electrolyte-rich beverages like coconut water or sports drinks. 2. Rest: Get plenty of rest to help your body recover. 3. Warm liquids: Enjoy warm liquids like tea, broth, or soup to help soothe your throat and ease congestion. 4. Honey: Consider adding honey to your warm liquids, as it has antimicrobial and soothing properties. 5. Saline gargle: Gargle with warm saline water several times a day to help reduce throat inflammation. 6. Humidify: Use a humidifier to add moisture to the air, which can help relieve dry cough and congestion. Monitoring 1. Temperature: Keep track of your temperature. If it exceeds 102F (39C) or lasts for an extended period, consult your doctor. 2. Symptom progression: Monitor your symptoms. If they worsen or you experience difficulty breathing, chest pain, or severe headache, seek immediate medical attention.

I've been keeping an eye on my blood pressure, and it's measuring at 146 over 95. I'm starting to get a bit worried this might be a sign of hypertension. Should I be considering medication to get it under control, or would it be better to consult with a general physician first to figure out the best course of action?
check your blood pressure for 3-4 times for next week. if still high then consult your physician
