Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello Doctor. My mom has a fever. A week ago she was prescribed by her doctor to take a water pill and another prescription to lower her blood pressure because it was quite high. A few days later, when the temperature got very hot, she felt dizzy and fell to the ground. Her temperature was high. She had a fever of a 101. We cooled her down and gave her tylenol. She s now complaining that her legs are weak and she cannot stand without help or walk. Her fever leaves and then comes back after she eats. I m thinking that it s some kind of viral infection that she has or it s some kind of bad side affect from the new medication. We wanted to bring her to Emergency but she refuses. We bargained with her and she said that she will go tomorrow in the morning. I was just wondering if the symptoms that I have stated could be some kind of virus and would she need antibiotics?
I would suggest you to get her blood examination done. Take the medications for blood pressure regularly. With the blood reports get the checkup done by a Physician.
Take care!
