I have been suffering from fever for the past 10 days, with chills at midnight and occasional body pains, particularly near the hamstrings and lower back. My breathing is good, and I don't have a cough or any pre-existing respiratory conditions. I tested negative for COVID-19. My fever is low during the day but rises to 100-101°F at night, accompanied by chills for 4-5 hours. I have been taking Paracetamol daily, but it only controls my fever for a limited time. I am worried because the fever has persisted for 10-13 days, with a brief period of feeling better followed by a relapse. What could be causing this and what can I do to get well soon?

I've been experiencing random blood sugar drops at work, leading to lightheadedness and increased heart rate. This morning, I woke up with chills, lightheadedness, and stomach noises. I also have a slight cough and feel constrained in my breathing. I have bad anxiety but no pre-existing respiratory conditions like asthma. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I am 47 years old and have been experiencing vaginal burning after sex. The burning is more outside than inside, goes away after showering but returns, and I use VAGISIL pH balance gel for cleaning. I had a light white discharge and odor, which I thought might be a yeast infection. I used condoms initially but now have had unprotected sex. My periods are normal, and I'm not sure if I'm in perimenopause. There is no lubrication during sex, and I had sex without a condom recently. What could be causing this burning sensation, and what should I do about it?

My wife had colon cancer removed about a year ago and finished chemo about 8 months ago. Now, she's experiencing continuous, sharp pain throughout her whole body, particularly around the abdomen, with hot flashes every fifteen minutes. She is unable to sleep due to the pain. She has been going to the hospital frequently for tests, but they can't find the cause of her pain. What could be causing this pain and what can be done to alleviate it?
