Yes, it is generally safe for him to take Dolo 650 (paracetamol) for pain, even without a fever, while taking Brilinta (ticagrelor). Unlike some other pain relievers, paracetamol does not increase the risk of bleeding when combined with his heart medication. However, because he has COVID-19 and is experiencing severe leg pain, it is very important to contact his doctor promptly. COVID-19 can sometimes increase the risk of blood clots, so a medical professional should evaluate his leg pain to ensure he is safe. Please keep him comfortable and reach out to his healthcare provider today.

I have a high fever, chills, and joint pain. What medicines can I take?

You may take paracetamol (an analgesic and antipyretic) to reduce your fever and relieve joint pain. If the pain is severe, ibuprofen (an NSAID) can help, but only if you do not have stomach, kidney, or bleeding problems. To manage chills, keep yourself warm with blankets or warm drinks. If your symptoms persist or worsen, consult a doctor immediately.

What suitable medicines should I take for a sore throat, cough, mild fever, and runny nose that started yesterday, if I have already taken Dolo 650 twice?

It is safe to continue taking Dolo 650 for your fever and sore throat, as it contains paracetamol. Just ensure you space doses 6 hours apart and do not exceed four tablets in 24 hours. For your runny nose and cough, a generic antihistamine like cetirizine can help. Simple measures like warm saltwater gargles, steam inhalation, and staying well-hydrated will also bring great relief. Please rest as much as possible. If your fever persists beyond three days or your symptoms worsen, please consult a doctor.

How long will the high inflammation and clotting markers in my recovering father's blood tests last if his oxygen levels are normal and he is only taking Dolo for a mild fever, and can he take a COVID-19 swab test now to see if he is negative?

It is very reassuring that your father's oxygen levels are normal and his mild fever is managed with Dolo (paracetamol). Elevated inflammation and clotting markers are a common part of the body's gradual healing process and can take about two to six weeks to return to normal levels. Yes, he can safely take a COVID-19 swab test now to check if he is negative and no longer infectious. Please continue to encourage rest and hydration, and share his blood test results with his doctor to ensure his recovery continues to progress safely.

What are the potential causes of mild back pain extending from the neck to the lower back at 27 weeks of pregnancy, and do clinical findings of a closed cervix and no fluid discharge rule out major complications?

These clinical findings strongly rule out major complications like preterm labor. At 27 weeks of pregnancy, mild back pain extending from your neck to your lower back is incredibly common. As your baby grows, your center of gravity shifts, and pregnancy hormones naturally loosen your ligaments, putting extra strain on your spine and supporting muscles. To find comfort, try gentle stretching, maintaining good posture, and using a warm compress. Please continue to share your symptoms with your healthcare provider.
