hi my co-myLotters! good day to you all! i just want to discuss this a bit about my current situation. i've been sick for 2 days now. i got back pain for 2 days now and just today i found out i have a sore throat. been drinking a lot of water and taking paracetamol meds for the past 2 days but seems like the meds won't cooperate. i am planning to visit my doctor today but unfortunately its weekend and my doctor is not available. so i was thinking to post a discussion here and i will just visit my doctor on monday. what worries me now is that, in case my fever won't subside and my back pain won't relieve, do you think it is best to continue taking paracetamol or any pain reliever until such time i'll see my doctor?

Gurgle warm water with salt, don't drink cold water just lukewarm water and no sweets. Continue to take paracetamol every 4-6 hours it's for the pain and the fever, and then when it doesn't get better go and consult your doctor for RX antibiotics.

Try to drink water every 5 minutes your sore and cold will be gone by water therapy it works wonder for me. i've been doing that if I got body arche going to fever and cold. Then you will pii all the time, take cae and have a relaxation at home don't over fatigue yourself.

Hi, zhar_888. I think that you should continue to take the paracetamol until you see your doctor. I hope that you will feel better really soon. Take care of yourself.
