What Causes High Fever With Dizziness And Headaches?

Hi, for the last 3 days I have had cough, fever after 4pm, sensitive skin, dizziness, and headache, the fever comes and goes and gets to about 101.5. I have also had night sweats I'm guessing because of the fever. Do you think this is just common flu or something else?

Infectious Diseases Specialist 's  Response
Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

The history and symptoms suggest that you may be having flu like symptoms of viral origin.

Most of the viral infection are self limiting, which will subside by itself without any treatment.

For your symptoms I would suggest you to follow
1. Take adequate rest.
2. NSAIDs like Tab Ibuprofen.
3. Course of antibiotics for 5 days to prevent secondary bacterial infection.
4. Take diet rich proteins to boost up your immunity.
Thank you.
