What Causes High Fever Along With Pain In Lower Back And Legs?

I am a 63 year old healthy male. Dont smoke drink and exercise. I have had high intermittent fevers for a week now. was rushed to hospital with 104 fever. my lower back and legs ache. I have no other symptoms other than slight headache around eyes. I suffer from stuffy nose in the evenings. Have been taking Motrin and Tylenol as instructed by hospital. Was prescribed 500mg of Keflex every 8 hours. Started administering 2 days ago. My fever has dropped from 103 today and now at 101.5 Doc says its viral and found nothing. How long can expect to be suffering like, its brutal.

Hello,

* As per my clinical experience, as the temperature chart is suggestive of lowering of fever amplitude that suggests that underlying viral infection is getting settled down with the medicines.

* The total duration of recovery and therapy depends upon the viral load, type of infection, host immune response and therapy provided.

* Though any reports or another needed data are not available, I would like to comment that continue your current medication and remain in regular follow up with your doc for best early recovery.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
