Cricky Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) I've had a fever for a few days. My whole body aches. Not hungry. Always tired . Short of breath Will this go away or do I need mediation, antibiotics or similar? Over the years my body would take care of it naturally and I'd be fine in a couple of days Edited January 10 by Cricky 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lacessit Posted January 10 Popular Post Share Posted January 10 Get yourself to the nearest clinic or hospital to get diagnosed. Waiting around to get better may have serious consequences. Until you know what is wrong with you, taking anything turns you into a lab rat. If it's a virus, antibiotics won't help. Taking paracetamol will mask the fever, and make a doctor's diagnosis more difficult. Move. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Cricky Posted January 10 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 10 Thank you to all of you that gave positive feedback. I'm very sick at the moment, I find it really strange that members are commenting with spite, malicious and bitterness. Seems so many people are miserable. I'm not whining, just looking for answers on a medical forum. 2 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it hurt to take antibiotics, I've got some at my home. To take any antibiotics on your own is the very worst idea. And did I interpret some posts correctly ? 42 degrees Celsious body temperature ? WIth that you could hardly even get to a hospital which you should immediately. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paxlovid is commonly used for COVID in the first few days, reducing serious illness by about 88%. I am currently taking Aciclovir as a prophylactic against infection, as I am on a regime of other meds which suppress my immune system. Sorry, I don't have time to waste educating you further. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant be bothered to indulge an attention seeker that cant be arsed to help themselves. A waste of time pandering to hypochondriacs as well. The OP is sick and alone, perhaps you could use an empathy transplant yourself. I've tried to offer useful advice, which is more than I can say for you. I tend to agree with him, some posters take a nasty pill first thing in the morning. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
