Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I hv had a fever,on and off, for 2 weeks. S My head is stuffy, lightheaded and almost feel like my ears need to b popped. I hv seen the doc 3 times and hv taken 2 different antibiotics. Last night, my fever topped at 103.3. I m 53 and can t seem to kick this.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of intermittent fever and dizziness along with light headed and ear popping which could be due to bacterial/ viral infection and due to underlying medical condition. 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. 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
