I've been having this pain in the ribs on the lower side of my chest for the past couple of days, plus my neck and shoulders are aching. There's no trouble when I breathe, and I'm not overweight. I make sure to exercise and walk every day. What do you think might be going on?

View allI've been having a fever between 100 and 102 that keeps coming back for the past 15 days, along with some body pain. I'm really worried and unsure what to do. Could you give me some advice?
Persistent fever and body pain for 15 days may indicate an underlying infection that needs to be addressed. I recommend taking Tab Paracetamol 500mg every 6 hours to help reduce the fever and body pain. Additionally, it is important to stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and eat nutritious foods. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
