Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have a fever. When I checked it, it was 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Please help. I am attaching the prescription of the medicines that I take regularly.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I just read your query about your fever and saw your medications for your other conditions (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

I suggest you take tablet Paracetamol 500 mg, four times a day. I would like few more details about your symptoms:

  1. Do you have a sore throat?
  2. Do you have a cold or a cough?
  3. Does it burn while urinating?

I hope you find my advice of some benefit. Good luck.

I have body ache and loose motion with fever, and my fever is increasing. The fever is 100.5 degrees Fahrenheit now.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I feel that you have gastroenteritis. I suggest you try taking doing the following:

  1. Tablet Metronidazole 500 mg, twice a day for three days.
  2. Tablet Hyoscine 10 mg, twice a day for three days.
  3. Take oral rehydration solution for three days.
  4. Tablet Paracetamol 500 mg, thrice a day for three days.
  5. Drink 33 to 42 cups of water.
  6. Eat more yogurt.
  7. Avoid juices and sweet drinks.
  8. Rest a lot.

Get back to me if you have any problem.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
