I've had a cold for the past four days, and now it's moved to my chest. I've been on amoxycillin that was prescribed by my doctor. Today, I've started feeling a heavy head too. Are there any medicines you can recommend to help ease my headache?

I'm feeling feverish on and off for the last couple of weeks, but every time I take my temperature, it's at 98.6. I've also got a bit of a sore throat, but I'm not having any issues with breathing or a dry cough. A person in my building was diagnosed with coronavirus a few days ago, and it's making me really anxious. I'm not sure what's happening with my health since I've never felt this way before. Any advice?

1. *Self-monitor*: Continue tracking your temperature and overall health. 2. *Mask up*: Wear a mask when leaving your home or interacting with others. 3. *Social distancing*: Maintain a safe distance from others, especially in your building. *Medical Consultation* 1. *Call your doctor*: Schedule a teleconsultation or in-person appointment to discuss your symptoms and concerns. 2. *Disclose exposure*: Inform your doctor about the COVID-19 case in your building. *Anxiety and Stress Management* 1. *Stay informed*: Follow credible sources (e.g., WHO, CDC) for COVID-19 updates. 2. *Practice relaxation techniques*: Engage in activities like deep breathing, meditation, or yoga to help manage anxiety. 3. *Connect with others*: Reach out to friends, family, or a therapist for emotional support.

I'm feeling really worried because I've had a fever for the last four days. I got some tests done and my urine epithelial cells count came back at 45, but everything else in the urine test, including pus cells, is within the normal range. Should I be concerned about the high epithelial cells, or could it just be related to the fever? Would love to get your advice on this.

There are many causes of fever, just with this amount history it's difficult to diagnose.
