I've been having a fever between 100 and 102 that keeps coming back for the past 15 days, along with some body pain. I'm really worried and unsure what to do. Could you give me some advice?

Persistent fever and body pain for 15 days may indicate an underlying infection that needs to be addressed. I recommend taking Tab Paracetamol 500mg every 6 hours to help reduce the fever and body pain. Additionally, it is important to stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and eat nutritious foods. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm really concerned because my dad has been dealing with a viral fever for the past week. The doctor prescribed medication that required injections twice a day, and now he's got these nonstop hiccups for the last two days.

I'm a bit of a hypochondriac and I've got a worry I can't shake. I tend to poke and press my lymph nodes pretty often, like maybe 10 to 15 times a day. Could doing this make them swell up or harm them? I know I'm checking them a lot, practically every hour, but I'm just really concerned. Is this something I should be worried about?
Yes, do not unnecessary press the lymph nodes. They are the organs which filter the infections from the body. These infection causing organisms will be stored in a dormant form in the lymph nodes so pressing it unnecessary is not a good thing. Secondly, examining oneself 10-15 times is alarming, it can be OCD with hypochrondria which requires medications.

I'm a bit worried about my body temperature. It usually stays around 98 to 98.7 in the morning but goes up to 99 by late afternoon, then drops back to 98.7 around 9 pm and stays there. It's been like this since April 10. For a couple of days in between, my temperature didn't go above 98.7. I haven't taken any meds for fever. Could this be something like typhoid or malaria? I haven't been able to get a blood test because of the whole corona situation. What do you think might be going on?
sometimes dueto hormonal changes also there's is change in temperature. Drink plenty of water and avoid stress as much as you can
