What to do when you have a fever and body aches

For colds, fevers and generalized aches and pains, the first thing you can do is to take oral pain relieving medications, such as depot tablets, paracetamol and lexapro. If the patient has a fever over 38.5℃, oral antipyretic drugs such as Merlin, Paracetamol, etc. can be taken. If the body temperature is lower than 38.5℃, physical cooling methods can be used, including warm water baths and ice packs to cool the body. It is recommended to improve the routine blood test. Generally, if the infection is viral, you can use antipyretic, detoxifying or antiviral drugs, such as Qingkai Ling, busulfan, oseltamivir, etc. If the patient has a combined bacterial infection, treatment with antibiotics, such as cefixime, amoxicillin, azithromycin, etc., should be added along with the antiviral drugs.
