I've been keeping track of my symptoms since I caught covid. Initially, I had a high fever of around 102 for the first three days, but now it's settled to about 99 over the last 48 hours. My Spo2 levels are at 99, and I have a bit of a cough, though it's not too bad. Since today marks my 7th day, I'm wondering if it's necessary for me to start taking Medrol. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Hydration and rest: Keep yourself hydrated and rest adequately to help your immune system fight the virus. Symptom management: Continue with medications like paracetamol for fever or any prescribed cough syrups or other symptom relievers. Follow-up: Regularly monitor your SpO2 levels (especially if symptoms worsen), and if you're unsure about needing steroids, contact your doctor.

View allI've been dealing with fever and this constant tiredness for about 20 days now. I even did blood tests for malaria and typhoid, but everything came back negative. I'm not having any issues like irritation while passing urine either. I've been taking paracetamol, and it helps for a bit, but then the fever and tiredness just come back. What might be going on?

I'm dealing with a fever that goes up to 102.5 in the evenings and nights, but it disappears by morning. My blood report shows that my RBC, WBC, and platelets are normal. I've been taking some meds: Paracip 650, Cefix 200 DT, and Pantosec D, twice a day for the last couple of days. I felt fine during the day today, but now the fever's coming back. I'm also feeling a bit weak because of the fever. What should I do?
It seems like you may be experiencing a recurring fever despite taking the medications. Since your blood report shows normal levels of RBC, WBC, and platelets, the fever may be due to an underlying infection. I recommend adding an antibiotic like Azithromycin your current treatment regimen. Additionally, you can take a fever reducer like Crocin 650mg for relief from fever and weakness. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If the fever persists or worsens, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm currently in Ahmedabad and I'm having trouble finding Grenil tablets here. Can you recommend an alternative tablet that I might be able to find in my area? I'm a bit worried about not being able to get it.
You can try using **Diane-35** as an alternative to Grenil, as both contain similar hormonal components. It's commonly available and can be prescribed by a doctor to suit your needs. However, it's important to consult a healthcare professional before switching.
