Question : I fell sick last Tuesday evening, I had severe body pains, back ache, fever with shivering. Wednesday morning it felt like temperature was reduced but i still had body pains. so i took Dolo 650 and next day morning body pains were gone but i am again feeling feverish. Since yesterday evening maybe because of weakness i started feeling little pain while inhaling. But i got no pain in throat, no cough body pains are gone. I can also smell things.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service,

Well, fever can be due to several reasons besides coronavirusHowever, you should also know that Coronavirus has a lot of atypical presentations apart from those usual symptoms that you mentioned

Since it's recurring, you should check with a local physician and need to undergo a few investigations (i.e. CBC, peripheral blood smear, ESR, CRP, Dengue IgG & IgM, Malarial Dual Antigen, Urine R.M and the RT-PCR for SARS CoV2 as well)...

Meanwhile, you can continue taking Dolo 650 round the clock (thrice daily after some food), and remain well hydrated by drinking a lot of water...

-Wear face mask all the time, esp. while going out...maintain social distancing, avoid any body-contacts with others... Maintain strict hand hygiene by washing the hands with soap and water before and after touching any objects...

Take Care
Kind Regards
