Suggest Treatment For Fever,sore Throat And High BP

I have a medium fever over the past three days and my blood pressure and pulse rate are moderately elevated. The top of my throat is slightly swollen which makes swallowing uncomfortable. I am on multiple heart, diabetes ll, blood pressure and prostate medications. Unfortunately due to circumstances, I am unable to see my doctor. What should I be doing? I am taking Tylenol for the fever.

Hi,

Night sweats might be due to simple causes like work out, hot shower or taking hot drinks before going to bed. Certain medical causes includes:
- Anxiety or stress
- Acid reflux disease
- Hyperhidrosis
- Medications: pain killers, steroids, antipsychotics
- Low testosterone levels
- Hormone disorders like hyperthyroidism etc.
- Infections, certain neurological conditions.
In the history you have mentioned loss of weight, so thyroid function test should be done to rule out hyperthyroidism. I advise you to hydrate yourself nicely. Take Coconut water, aloe vera, buttermilk etc.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya Vasudevan, General & Family Physician
