Hi doctor,

I am a 39-year-old female, 5 feet 11 inches tall, and weigh 182 pounds. I have a fever, chills, muscle aches, a headache, a runny nose, and I am feeling very tired. I am taking Dazit.

As it rained last night, I am a little worried.

Kindly help me.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern and will help you out.

Looking at the symptoms you mentioned, you seem to be suffering from an acute viral respiratory infection. Tablet Dazit (Desloratadine) may provide symptomatic relief. You should maintain hydration and keep drinking lots of fluids because, in a fever, your body does not tell you when you are thirsty.

Steam inhalation will also provide relief. If the headache is bothering you, I suggest taking tablet Crocin (Paracetamol) as and when required (limit to two to three tablets a day). Take a Vitamin-C 400 mg tablet twice a day. Consult your specialist doctor, and then take the medicines.

Continue tablet Dazit 5 mg once daily. Do not worry. You should recover in a week. Meanwhile, try to keep yourself isolated from other family members and use a mask.

Please get back to me if you have further queries.

Thank you.
