Suggest treatment for fever and pain in lower back
Patient: My daughter is having lower back pain, fever, mild cold or sinus symptons. She thinks that she may be pregnant and is 8 days late.   She has been off of the pill since June of 2010 because she and her husband are planning on starting a family.   First, can she take Tylenol to help with fever.   She plans on calling her doctor in the morning for an appt. unless she can't get the fever down tonight.   Otherwise, she may go to the ER. What would you suggest?   I am online checking for her because they are travelling home from out of  town right now. Doctor: Hi,It seems that she might be having viral infection producing fever and lower back pain.As she is late of her period there is chance of having pregnancy.Go for urine test for pregnancy.During this time she can take Tylenol as needed.give her with full stomach.Ok and take care.
