Low Fever 99.3°C
Hi,
My father is an Ulcerative Colitis patient and his IPAA Surgery is completed two years back.
From past three days he has low fever 99.3c. earlier he has cough but no he doesn't have that. Also he is not showing any other symptoms.
Please suggest the meds and what is causing this issue.
Hello Good evening
What medications he is on right now..
Being on immunosuppression medications for UC increases the chances of catching COVID...
Kindly do the COVID test
Then we can discuss its treatment in the given scenario
Best wishes
