I'm seeing my fever fluctuate between 98 and 99.7 degrees, and I've been feeling really weak. I'm also really stressed about it. Can you tell me what might be going on?

A temperature range of 98-99.7F (36.7-37.6C) is slightly below or within the normal range, but when combined with body weakness and fatigue, it could indicate a low-grade infection, inflammation, or a viral illness, and it's also possible that you might be experiencing a post-viral fatigue syndrome or a mild case of COVID-19, so it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and guidance.

My partner tested positive for COVID-19 on January 19th. After isolating for almost 10 days, her test came back negative. Is it safe for us to start living together again and be intimate?

Since your partner tested negative after isolating for 10 days, it is generally safe to resume living together. However, it's important to ensure she's fully recovered and free of any lingering symptoms. If you're still concerned, it's always a good idea to consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
