Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My father is 56 years old. He developed severe joint pain and high fever yesterday at night. He has been seen by the doctor and the symptoms may be of checkunguneya. He has taken 6 crocins today. Andd now had 102 fever when we gave him another crocin after 4-5 hours. His fever came down to 101.1. Doctor will test him tomorrow and the reports would come in 48 hours. He has been given painkillers too. Can we do anything to improve his condition?
As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
