Question : Have been having feverish feeling, maybe mild fever for past few weeks. No cough, no body pain etc. sometimes the body gets very hot and it becomes difficult to sleep at times. Have been using panadol to bring the heat down during this time. No issues with carrying out my day to day work, even exercise. But the body temp/heat seems to be sustaining for the whole day. Do I need to try a different medication? What would you advice.

No travel history this year. Have been at home since 16th .

Brief Answer:
Discontinue statin use

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Since its happening for a few weeks, your body seems to be inflaming in response to some trigger. From your description, statin use is a possible trigger. I would suggest that you discontinue statin use for atleast 3 weeks and see if it makes you better. Meanwhile bring lifetstyle changes including low fat foods excluding the milk products and also do regular exercise.

Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
