Suggest Treatment For Recurring High Fever And Chills

default
Posted on Mon, 17 Oct 2016
Question: hello doctor,

My LMP was 15th Aug 2016. I did a UPT two days back and it came faintly positive. I have attached the image for the same. Are there any chances that i could be pregnant ?
i do have pain in my inner thighs which connect to groin area , the pain occure only when i walk or put pressure in that area, i mentioned this to my gynaec but she appeared to be least worried about it , do you see any problem with it?
Also, for last 3 weeks i have been suffering with boil on my leg & hips. And most likely because of that i am getting recurring high fever with chills which last for a day or two.
My Gynaec has prescribed me with Dolo 650mg, Cap. Bifilac, & Tab. Augmentin 625 thrice a day for 5 days.
My first question is : are these medicines safe in case i am pregnant ?
And second being doctor has prescribed these antibiotics thrice a day however, the pharmacist has given me the pack of 10 tablets. is it fine if i take those twice a day for 5 days ?
Thanks
doctor

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Yes, you are definitely pregnant , dear XXXXXXX
The pain is worrisome particularly considering history of prior miscarriage.
I would advice taking progesterone support and daily folic acid tablets.
Take rest, avoid exertion and sexual activity.
The medications are safein pregnancy.
It is better to take it thrice a day to attack the infection with aggression.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Take care, dear.
Get an ultrasound scan after a week to confirm the heartbeat of the baby.

Thanks a lot doctor for your response. I was really very uncertain with the result that i got on my UPT. I am not sure why it did not come as a darker line.
Also, i have been facing the problems of extreme gas, very frequent urination, sore breasts for like last 4-5 days.
I did not really have any of these symptoms during my last pregnancy atleast at this stage.
Are these symptoms normal ?
Also, my fever started on friday. It stays in control as long as i am taking Dolo 625mg thrice a day. Yesterday i tried missing the afternoon dose & in the evening again i had chills followed by high fever.
I am really worried about this fever of mine. Do you also think that my boils could be responsible for this fever ? or i should get myself tested for something else as well.
I dont have any burning or pain while passing the urine. Its just that the frequency & the volume has been a lot more these days.My doctor has asked to get the FBS and blood Hcg test done for which i will be going today. I will keep you posted with the reports.
Really thanks for always answering my questions in time.

Thanks
doctor

Dear XXXXXXX
Thank you for the appreciation.
you are a very sweet person.
Sorry for the delay in response this time since I had internet connectivity issues.
Yes, the line should have been darker.
An ultrasound scan after a week will clarify what is the situation.
Every pregnancy is different, and every woman's reaction to a pregnancy is different.
Yes, the symptoms you describe are normal.
Can you upload pictures of the boils, I will look and tell you if you need any more tests for the fever.
Yes, please get me the reports.
Did you ever have such boils earlier ?
WHich city do you reside, XXXXXXX ?
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hello Doctor,

You deserve all the appreciations. These days I am really worried for my health but your advice & suggestions always come as a relief.
I have attached the picture of the boil which is currently present on the calf of my right leg.
A minor one also was there on the middle finger of the same leg but it got dried up on its own & is fine now. May be because I could not really got to itch & rub on it just the I did to the current one unknowingly.
It is almost been 3 weeks now for this one & it looks a lot better now in comparison to what it was a week before because the swelling has almost gone now.
I stay in XXXXXXX
I will be getting my reports tomorrow & will share those with you.
Many thanks again for your help.

Regards


hello doctor,

Also, wanted to mention that I don't really remember if I ever had such boils. Although my skin is very oily & prone to acne. 1 week back only I got more than a couple of them on my face & so far I am attributing them to my not-so confirmed pregnancy :)
I am not very sure but the boil for which I have attached the picture that started around 2-3 weeks back as a smaller one.
This fever also started on 3rd Sept (Saturday), it was a mild one & got over on its on the same day itself.
Re-occurred on 17th Sept (again Saturday) but I had to take Dolo-650 this time & as a precaution I consulted a physician as well who ordered for CBC & Urine test.
Both the results were almost normal. But I was then fine on Sunday.
And again, it came back on 23rd afternoon (Friday this time) & stayed till Saturday & I am fine today. No fever & no fever medicine I took today.
So, the only pattern in my fever I can find is Saturday :(
Apologies for being so descriptive & writing two posts but as I said I am really concerned with whatever is happening with my health these days :(
Thanks for being so patient & kind enough to go through my long posts.

Regards,
doctor
