Hello Doctor,
Thank you for your quick response.
Its been now almost 8-9 days since I am not feeling well and having these symptoms . I am feeling feverish and having body pains.
Just to let you know there is no cough or any other problem.
On taking Combiflam I am getting relief but again i get feverish and body pains once its effect is over.
Please advise what next steps should i take, should i keep on taking combiflam and wait for few more days or this needs some further investigations.
Do you prescribe any other medications apart from combiflam for now?

Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Viral fever can last seven to twelve days.
As you have no other signs of respiratory tract or other focus of infection, there is no role for anti or other drugs.
As of now continue Combiflam and no other drugs are required. Make sure to drink plenty of water.
If symptoms persists other possibilities like dengue or urinary tract infections must be ruled out.

Brief Answer:
Basic blood Investigations has to be done.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Unfortunately this platform does not provide telephone options.
The rashes can be a sign of allergic reaction unrelated to the fever.
As the condition is not improving I suggest you to go to consult a physician and do basic blood work, uthne routine and dengue antigen test.
