Suggest Remedy For Persistent Fever
That would be great! My question and problem is this: I've had an ongoing low grade fever for 5 days now due to a partially blocked intestine, which I was diagnosed with yesterday. I had been treating my fever with advil the first 3 days, but since my doc put me on a liquid diet yesterday and gave me 2 strong antibiotics, I haven't taken anything for the fever since yesterday (too much meds and no food). Since I don't feel too good with this ongoing fever, would it be ok to take advil? Sorry I am female age 34, I weigh 5'6' and weigh 126 lbs.

As far as ADVIL is concerned it is non steriodal antinflammatory drug and helps relieves fever and pain. The basic problem here in your case is fever and subacute intestinal obstruction.. if u are passing flatus with faeces then continue withthe soft diet along with the antibiotics and sure you can take ADVIL too. if u havent passed stools and flatus for more than 24 hours and if it accompanies abdominal distension then quickly consult your doctor so that proper workup can be done in time..
