Why My Mother Is Having Body Aches,chills And A High Fever?
Hi....My mum is a stage 4 colorectal cancer patient with cancer that has spread to her liver. Chemotherapy is no longer effective. She took an injection for osteoporosis yesterday. She has really bad body aches,chills and a high fever the whole of today. Is this the side effects of the injection? How long will these symptoms last? despite taking paracetamol,her fever is slow to subside. Should I be concerned?

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.....The Injection for osteoporosis usually Zoledronic acid can cause the symptoms you have suggested... Usually Paracetamol tablets are enough to settle the symptoms....They will subside in a couple of days with the drug...If it persists beyond 3-4 days review with your doctor
