What could be the cause of a recurring fever of 101?102?F, accompanied by a sore throat and body aches for the past three days, which temporarily subsides with Combiflam but continues to return?
A recurring fever with a sore throat and body aches usually indicates your immune system is actively fighting an infection, such as a common virus or a bacterial throat infection. Combiflam, which contains ibuprofen and paracetamol, is excellent for temporarily reducing fever and relieving pain, but it only manages the symptoms rather than curing the underlying cause. Once the medication wears off, the fever returns as your body continues its defense. I highly recommend consulting a healthcare professional for a physical exam or throat swab to determine the exact cause and get you the right treatment.
