Sir, my father has been having a fever on and off for the last 3 months. He's been taking antibiotics and Crocin regularly, but there's no improvement. Could there be a reason why he's not getting better, and should we be worried? What do you suggest we do next?

I've been feeling a bit off since this morning. I had a sore throat for a couple of days but did some morning gurgling with Glycoceptol and it seemed to do the trick. But now I've got this body ache that disappeared pretty quickly after I got up, and I'm left with a mild headache and feeling a bit feverish. It doesn't seem like the fever's even hitting 99 F. Should I be concerned or just wait it out?

use dolo 650 after food 2 to 3 times a day
