My husband has been in the hospital for the past two days with a fever of 101, a sore throat, and weakness. He even fainted because his blood pressure was low, and his pulse was only 58. His oxygen saturation levels have been fluctuating between 87 and 89, but with oxygen, its between 92 and 94. We've had several tests, and I'm really concerned about his interleukin IL-6 levels, which came back at 290. I've attached the report for reference. Could you explain what this value means and what side effects he might experience? What precautions should we be taking right now?

I'm really worried about my brother. He got diagnosed with Typhoid because his fever just wouldn't go down, and it turns out his Typhoid level is pretty high at 162. He's been on medication since Thursday, and today is Monday, but the fever hasn't completely disappeared yet. During the day, the temperature seems normal, but in the evening or afternoon, it shoots up to 99. I'm trying to figure out how many more days it's going to take for this fever to totally go away. Is this normal? I read somewhere that Typhoid fever can take about 15 days to subside entirely is that true? Today marks the 5th day he's on the medication for Typhoid. He's taking Enteromycetin 250 capsules three times a day and omnacortil 5, also three times daily. Does this medication sound right, or could it be that it's not strong enough, and that's why it's taking longer? Could you please help out and let me know what you think?

I'm dealing with a mild cold and cough, and I had a fever yesterday. The local doctor prescribed me Lizolid, but the pharmacy gave me Linezolid instead. I'm wondering if they are the same thing. Could you help me out here?
