Suggest Treatment For Fever And Headaches
Question: I just got over a brief stint of a major fever with a headache. It lasted about two days. In the process, my lower left leg showed some redness with a little inflammation. It is beginning to subside now but is there any reason for concern. It does not hurt, although it was a bit warn for a period of time.
Brief Answer:
Supportive care
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Fever with headache and unilateral limb redness and inflammation self resolving and improvement of symptoms with in 48 hours is not a matter of concern. Had it been persistent, we would have advised to go for some work up to find the focus of infection for this fever and also assess the limb swelling but , if every thing subsiding, so far so good. Nothing to worry about and nothing to be concerned about.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
