Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your husband is having intermittent fever along with vomiting and constipation which could be due to bacterial/ viral infection and due to underlying medical condition. It could be due to poor immunity of body. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take combination of Ibuprofen and Tylenol as it is safe combination and you can take that for your present condition. Don't combine any medication like Aspirin, Naproxen with this combination at-least 8-12 hours of each other as it will cause GI bleed symptoms and ulceration. You should take diet rich in fibres to prevent constipation. Take antiemetic medication to prevent fluid loss. As fever is of high grade at times so you should do tepid sponging as well. Take diet rich in multivitamins, fruits and take multivitamin tablet as well to boost body immunity. Drink plenty of water to rehydrate yourself.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
