My friend had a fever of 39 degrees yesterday, and today he is a bit tired and weak, but in the evening he started sweating heavily again. I gave him ibuprofen. What can we do? He also feels a sore throat and we are currently in Mexico, originally from Austria, and were in the Philippines before. Could it be malaria?

I was diagnosed with a pulmonary embolus in my left lung post-operatively (gall bladder removal) last November. Since then, I have been taking Xarelto and continue to experience intermittent chest pressure and shortness of breath.

Is it possible that I have more blood clots, and what further tests or actions should my physicians consider?
