Fever for 4 days with back pain
Hi Doctor, I’m 13 years old and I’ve had a fever for 4 days now. Yesterday my temperature reached 101.9°F. My symptoms are: Constant throbbing pain in my back. A wet cough (not dry). A very blocked nose that makes it hard to sleep. I’m currently taking Paracip and Cetcip as prescribed by a doctor yesterday, but the fever is still hanging on. I wanted to check if there’s anything else I should do, especially for the back pain and the nose blockage.
