I have had a fever, a cold, and a headache for the last 2 days. I took Dolo 650, Alex Plus syrup, and Azikem 500, but I am not getting relief, and I also have diabetes. What should I do now?
Fever, cold, and headache for a couple of days are commonly caused by viral infection, flu, throat infection, or sinus irritation. Dolo 650, Alex Plus Syrup, and Azikem 500 may help certain symptoms, but viral infections often take several days to improve gradually. Because you also have diabetes, infections can sometimes affect recovery and may temporarily increase blood sugar levels. Rest, warm fluids, steam inhalation, and proper hydration may help reduce congestion and headache naturally. Avoid cold drinks, smoke, dust, and oily foods because they may worsen throat and sinus irritation. Monitoring blood sugar regularly during illness is important because fever and infection can disturb diabetes control. Missing meals or dehydration may also affect sugar levels. Avoid taking extra antibiotics or multiple cold medicines without proper medical advice because unnecessary medicines may not provide additional benefit. A medical review may be needed if symptoms continue worsening despite treatment. Seek medical attention if breathing difficulty, high fever, chest pain, severe weakness, low oxygen, or uncontrolled blood sugar develops.
