Cold feet can be due to various reasons such as decreased blood circulation to the extremities due to atherosclerosis that is cholesterol deposition in blood vessels, nerve damage - nerves that detect temperature are not working, lean body - persons who have less body fat need to conserve more heat which happens by feet becoming cold to keep internal organs warm, normal response to cold climate.

Sometimes, I feel like I'm always fighting this weird cycle. I start feeling feverish with a mild fever and all achy after 6 pm most days, even though my mornings are perfectly fine. It's like after I eat, this sickness just settles in. I've been dealing with this on and off for about two years now. It lets up for a few months and then comes right back. I've had tests done like CBC, ESR, typhoid, and even checked for vitamin D, but nothing's showing up. I'm curious and kinda worried about why this keeps happening. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

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?

Paracetamol has multiple actions ,usually given for fever and pain,you can follow your doctor advice.
