Brief Answer:
Tylenol: 1000mg every 6hours!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank so much for this query.

I have reviewed your information fully. The exact cause of this fever is not known at this time. However, it is a low grade fever and doesn’t call for aggressive measures at this time. I will recommend tylenol for the fever and pain. A dose of 1000mg every 6-8hours.

Keep me posted on how well you are responding to this. I wish you well and await your updates.

Brief Answer:
If you were given an antibiotics, take it!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Am not yet very convinced that you probably needed an antibiotic for treatment at this time. If you have been served one already, I recommend that you carry on with.

I wish you well.
