Suggest Medication For Fever

Hi. I'm having a fever which has lasted for 3 days as of now, it doesn't seems to subside with Paracetamol, temperature is about 37.5 degree Celsius. Besides, I feel very tired and sleepy even though I have just woke up from a nap. The doctor has took some blood for Full Blood Count test, but the result is not out yet. Is it necessarily to go to the hospital, or what should I do? Please help.

Hello, I really appreciate your concern. From your description I think you are suffering from viral fever. First of all, 37.5 degree Celsius temperature is within normal range for an adult. So there is nothing to worry about it. Your temperature is in control. Tiredness and sleepiness is because of viral fever itself. You should drink plenty of water. Fresh fruits and juice are advisable. Have adequate rest and diet. There may be some feeling of anorexia. Try to divide your meals in small fractions to have enough nutrition. Further management if any needed, will be initiated by your physician after results of blood reports.
Hope my answer has solved your query. Take Care.
Thank you.
