Suggest Treatment For Fever And Dizziness
Question: YYYY@YYYY I have a normally healthy 18 year old who is now tired, running a fever of 101 in evening and low grade during the day. He says he feels like he's tired all the time and he also has felt dizzy and it gets worse when he is feeling worse. He's had a heartbeat of 98 - 100 and a BP that is normally 120/80 is 132/90. 130/70. He's been to the walk in clinic after one week of feeling tired and the said labs are normal and ECG is normal. We are going to to try and get in to see PCP and were wondering what are next steps?
Thank you, XXXXXXX - Ian's Mom

Steam inhalation with few drops of eucalyptus oil in it, three to four times a day.

Nasal decongestant like xylometazoline. If there is nasal congestion.
