Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this cramp that you have reported. I am happy to know you have reported some improvement in your symptoms by using this product. If you just started using this drug, then I will suggest that you carry on for a minimum of 7days before getting worried if there is still some pain hanging around. If it has been more than this duration, then I will appreciate that you detail your symptoms for me to take a closer look at them.

What is your temperature?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for following up with me.

Fever is always a cause for concern. Please, take your temperature and report the value to me. If it is more than 38C, then I would most likely be suggesting that you get evaluated because this could be a sign of an ongoing infection.

I hope to get he response to this.

Brief Answer:
Please, this is not fever!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this follow up response.

Your temperature is normal and there is no reason to say you are having a fever right now. With you having reported a relief in the pains. I will suggest that you follow up with the treatment for now and let;s see how well you do. If any new concerning symptoms should come up, only at that time would I be rushing for more aggressive medical interventions.

I hope this helps. I wish you well and would be happy addressing any further concerns that you may have.
