I've had a fever since early this morning, and it's coming down a bit. But my heart rate is staying pretty high, around 110-130 BPM. Is this usual when you have a fever, or should I be more worried about this heart rate change? I'm feeling really anxious about it. My apple watch even gave me a high heart rate alert while I was resting this evening. What should I do?

Normal, if still heart rate persists more than 100 beats per minute after fever subsides u may require an ecg and cardiac markers .

No always consult before consuming nimesulide as Nimesulide can cause serious liver damage

I'm a bit concerned because I've been running a low-grade fever for about 10 days now. Every evening, it goes up to 99 or 100 degrees. I've already tested for dengue, malaria, and typhoid, and all came back negative, but the fever's still there. What do you think might be causing this, and what should I do next?

It could be UTI so i think you should consult physician to test for uti and others infectious foci in our body
