I'm really worried because after giving Dolo 650, the fever comes back within just 3 hours and it's reaching 40.2C. Can we actually give another dose that soon, especially since it's dengue? It seems to lower to 102F but then spikes right back up. What should we do?

I'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've been feeling under the weather since yesterday. I've got a bad cold and flu, with this annoying head and throat pain. Plus, I'm constantly sniveling, which is pretty bothersome. What should I do about this?

Paracetamol 650mg thrice a day after food for 2 days. Tab. Monticope-a twice a day after food for 3 days. Warm salt water gargles thrice a day.
