viral fever prescription - #20379
I am feeling pretty awful and could really use some advice. A few days ago I started having chills, severe headcolde, and this weird low-grade fever that won't go away. I don't really get sick often, but this time I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck. My temperature goes up and down, like one minute I’m sweating, and the next I'm freezing. My doctor mentioned something about a viral fever, but she didn't give me a specific viral fever prescription. I just got some over-the-counter meds, and I'm taking paracetamol, but it doesn’t seem to help that much. I’m curious if anyone has ever been prescribed anything different when dealing with a viral fever? Should I be asking for more specific treatment or just stick with the basics? Also, how long should I expect this to last? I read online that some things can help with viral fevers, but I'm not sure what’s safe to take with other meds I’m already on. Are there any warning signs I should look for? I don’t want it to turn into something more serious. Any and all input on a good viral fever prescription would be super helpful!
