Suggest Medication For Fever & Chills
I have been running a low grade fever (99-101) but typically never run a fever when ill. Also, experiencing chills, muscle aches, lower back pain and have had watery stools for the past 2 days. I care for an elderly man and do not want to get him sick. I can't get into see my PCP until Monday, any idea what it could be?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have fever and chills which seems to be due to infection either viral or bacterial. Symptoms such as watery diarrhea, muscle aches occurs along with fever. I would suggest you to take combination of anti-inflammatory drug along with Ibuprofen. you should take Azithromycvin as well as it could be the case of co-infection. Drink plenty of liquids. Visit General physician once and get it examined. Get blood tests done if symptoms keep son persisting. Do tepid sponging as well . Take painkiller if muscle ache is severe. Avoid intake of out side food.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
