Viral fever
My colleague had viral fever a week back and I too got infected by it 4 days back. Went to the doctor and when he checked it was 39.7 degree C. So he prescribed some medicine and advised to come back if I still had the symptoms after 2 days i.e., yesterday. But yesterday I was feeling lively and energetic and the fever was gone so I just took diclofenac medicine and stopped the paracetamol. So I put on the AC and went to sleep. But suddenly I woke up in the middle of the night with some temperature same as it was when I had the viral fever a few days back. This isn't that severe as body pain is less but I can feel the temperature inside. I immediately took one paracetamol now.
What might be the reason for this? Should I consult the doctor again or continue with the same medication?
The medicine which were prescribed were paracetamol, diclofenac and levofoxacon.

It's important to remember that fever can be a symptom of various underlying issues, including infections. In your case, it's possible that the viral fever was not fully resolved, or you may have experienced a fever for a different reason.
Next Steps
Continue Medication: If your fever persists, it's advisable to continue taking the medication as prescribed by your doctor, including paracetamol. Rest and Hydrate: Ensure you're getting enough rest and staying hydrated, as this can help your body recover. Follow Up with the Doctor: Since your fever returned, it's a good idea to consult with your doctor again, especially if the fever continues or if new symptoms develop. They may need to reevaluate your condition and, if necessary, adjust your treatment. Watch for Warning Signs: Be vigilant for any concerning symptoms, such as high fever, severe headache, difficulty breathing, chest pain, or any other unusual symptoms. If you experience these, seek immediate medical attention.
