I am experiencing pain during sexual intercourse. I have been tested for infections and had blood tests, but everything came back normal. What could be causing this, and what should I do next?

Pain during sex may be due to vaginal dryness, stress, or tight pelvic muscles. Rule out hormonal causes like low estrogen or thyroid imbalance. Use water based lubricants during intercourse. See a gynecologist for a Pelvic Ultrasound and physical exam. If needed, consult a pelvic floor therapist.

I have been experiencing a low grade fever for the past 15 days, mostly in the evenings between 7 to 10 PM, and sometimes after 4 PM. The temperature varies between 98.5F and 99.5F. I have taken Dolo 650 twice. I sometimes feel heaviness in my eyes, but it improves after eating. I have done a Widal test and CBC, which showed only a mild increase in ESR. I am unable to understand the cause of this persistent fever. What could be the reason, and what treatment should I follow?
