Hi,
My friend has recently been infected by the Ebola virus, and I am afraid about it. His parents said he had not been having his meals properly for a month, with fever, sore throat, body pain, etc. I also came across similar symptoms, and I am afraid. But I have been vaccinated against Ebola. Are there any chances of acquiring Ebola even if I am vaccinated? I am 35-year-old, and I have taken Paracetamol for fever for the past two days.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
It is unlikely to get the infection by contact. However, I suggest you take proper precautions.
I have the following suggestions for you-
1. Do not take over-the-counter (OTC) pills; instead, get a proper diagnosis of fever and treat it.
2. You must maintain a temperature chart.
3. You must eat a healthy, balanced, and nutritional diet.
4. You must drink plenty of fluids.
Thank you.
