How Can Fever Along With Body Ache And Dizziness Be Treated?

I have been sick with fever, body aches, mild cough, weakness and dizziness when standing since the day after Christmas. Just today, I have also developed a sore throat. I work at the post office in a very physical position and have been a good employee for over 2 1/2 years. My job is important to me, so I have gone in three separate times to try to not call out, but after two hours or less, my body just can t take it. What could be going on for this long and what can I do to get better before work tomorrow? Please help me. I am a mom of seven. I can t miss work like this.

dear user

about your fever you will follow these simple of treatment steps but if symptoms persist you need to see your doctor for blood tests and investigations

paracetamol and meftal are good antipyretics that you could take for relief of fever and you need not to worry about it......but very important step required with medications is doing cold compresses........making cold compresses and put your head or body under mild cold running water for atime if 10-15 minutes untill grade of fever reduced then take antipyretics........antipyretics have excellent effect in lowering moderate fever ......but if fever is high antipyretics have limited effect and fever may remain persistent even if you increased the dose....... ..simple cold compresses shouldnot ignored........it will help you improve alot...........lastly treatment of the cause of infection is the main step that if bacterial infection suspected you should take antibiotic as amoxicillin will be helpful..........hope that helps you...

wish you healthy life
