General Surgeon, Dr. T Chandrakant's Response

Hi,

Symptoms of your mother are suggestive of viral fever as per the history you have noted. Please give her anti-inflammatory medications like Ibuprofen and repeat if helping.

If not ask her to consult a doctor and get investigated and add on prescription based medication. Full bed rest. Plenty of liquids orally.

Hope I have answered your query. Feel free to ask for further relevant queries.

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant, General Surgeon
