Viral fever
Just wanted to update and ask.
I developed fever on 7th August, cold, sore throat on 8th August and i went to the doctor, he did my cbc, it was normal, no malaria (report attached). I've been taking dolo 650 thrice a day, nasal decongestant and doing gargles for my throat. My fever was fluctuating between 100 and 101.5
I took one dolo last night around 8 pm, from 10 pm till the morning , my temperature reduced to 99.6.
I had body ache, so today 8 am, I took one more dolo, and i just checked my temperature it's normal now. 98.6. do I still need to take dolo in afternoon or at night? And today's day 5, have i started recovering?
To be mentioned, my sore throat is better, and my stuffy nose is a bit better too.
