Paracetamol in fever above 100.6
Hello,
My Mom is 58yrs old. She is having raised temp since yesterday. Her temp was 100.6
She had paracetamol in afternoon after lunch. Temp came down to 97.8, but then raised again by evening 9pm we gave her paracetamol again.
We have asked for Rt-pcr test today. We might get report by tomorrow. Till them how do we treat her??
She is suffering from osteoporosis. And has been having some inflammation since few months.
What can be chances of having fever due to covid or due to inflammation??
