I'm feeling pretty worried because I've been dealing with a fever, sore throat, and this dry cough for the past three days. I saw a doctor and started on Cifran 500 mg and Crocine. But now I've started shivering, and my temperature is around 99.4F. Do you have any advice on what I should do next? Its starting to concern me.
To help manage your symptoms: Medication 1. Continue Cifran 500 mg: Complete the full course as prescribed by your doctor to ensure the infection is fully treated. 2. Crocine: Continue taking Crocine as directed for fever management. Additional Measures 1. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids, such as water, clear broths, and electrolyte-rich beverages like coconut water or sports drinks. 2. Rest: Get plenty of rest to help your body recover. 3. Warm liquids: Enjoy warm liquids like tea, broth, or soup to help soothe your throat and ease congestion. 4. Honey: Consider adding honey to your warm liquids, as it has antimicrobial and soothing properties. 5. Saline gargle: Gargle with warm saline water several times a day to help reduce throat inflammation. 6. Humidify: Use a humidifier to add moisture to the air, which can help relieve dry cough and congestion. Monitoring 1. Temperature: Keep track of your temperature.
