Question 1

I'm really worried about my mom. She's diabetic and has been dealing with this cold and fever for a while now. Her body temperature is pretty high, and she's feeling very weak, which is so unlike her since she used to be really active. There's no coughing involved, but I'm not sure which medicine would be best for her in this situation. Any advice?

Accepted Answer

Fever in a diabetic will subside only if blood sugar is under control. Paracetamol and cetrizine for fever and a course of antibiotic since we cant take a risk in a diabetic elderly.. will worsen quickly.. better consult and start treatment.

Question 2

I've been feeling like I might have a fever for a couple of days, but when I check my temperature, it's normal. Should I be concerned about this? What do you think is going on? Could there be another reason why Im feeling this way, and is there anything I should do?

Question 3

I'm really worried because after giving Dolo 650, the fever comes back within just 3 hours and it's reaching 40.2C. Can we actually give another dose that soon, especially since it's dengue? It seems to lower to 102F but then spikes right back up. What should we do?

Do fever profile

I was diagnosed with COVID about 16 days ago and spent 3 days in the hospital. They sent me home once my CRP level was below 2. Now, 10 days later, my CRP is at 4.4. I'm taking Medrol 16 mg and Ecosprin 150 mg, but its gone up. Should I be concerned about this increase?
