Is my fever a serious concern?
Yesterday my son (aged 20+) had fever around 102⁰F (measured with IR-thermometer) at 9:45pm. I gave him Dolo-360 and rubbed his whole body with normal water using a towel to bring his body temperature down. After 3hrs he was completed fine and we all went to sleep. Today, I checked his temperature when he was asleep at 4am, 7am and 10am. Everytime his temperature was normal and my son said he felt fine and comfortable.
But today afternoon, I felt slightly tired and slight chills. Later I also had mild sore throat and my temperature had a peak of 99.4⁰F. So I took Dolo-360 afternoon after food. No one in our house goes to shop or office. We all stay home and also I sanitize everything. Is the fever a serious concern (covid-19)? Doctor(s) please help me🙏🏻

The possibility of Covid 19 cannot be ruled out unless it is tested. It spreads by droplet infection and so it is still possible to get it even if you stay home. If there is a mild sore throat also associated with it then it will be wise to take all the necessary precautions for Covid.

I will be able to prescribe you the necessary medications. You can consult me on Practo.
