Hi,
My husband got high fever 102 from past 4 days and after taking Dolo , his fever gets normal and then again rise. It's not normal at all. Second day he got cough and cold. We went to doc, he admitted him with multivitamins and paracetamol. But still fever is not reducing. Had done the dengue test which is negative. His medicines are now changed to meftal and paracetamol.
Kindly suggest. Do he need to get admitted.
