Hi im jen and im 23

Hello Jen, thank you for your question.

Seems like you’re having symptoms of fever, headache and body shaking. There are few conditions that might be causing your symptoms such as :

  • Viral fever such as Influenza (flu) or Dengue fever
  • Infection of the gastrointestinal tract (Gastroenteritis)
  • Post-vaccination

However, your symptoms could be due to a more serious medical condition such as meningitis. Therefore, we advise you to talk to a doctor before starting any medication.

Regarding the medications, Panadol is an analgesic which is a type of painkiller while Ibuprofen (Brufen) and Diclofenac are anti-inflammatory drugs. Since you are sensitive to certain medications, we recommend to you to seek a doctor’s opinion before taking any medication to prevent any adverse effects.

Hope we answered your question.

You may talk to our doctor online, so that we can help you further.
