I'm really concerned about my uncle who's 60 years old. He's been occasionally running a fever for the past month and has lost weight. He was 78 kg, but now has reduced a bit over the last few months. The chest CT scan results and AFB test both came back negative. Can you help me understand what might be causing these symptoms?

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?

I'm dealing with a pretty bad flu and a serious cough. I'm already taking a syrup and an antibiotic like amoxiline 1g. So, if a doctor suggests paracetamol, is it just for pain relief or does it help fight the virus too? And what if I can manage the pain, do I really need to take the paracetamol?
