I have 102.2 fever and lower right side back pain. I feel pain all over like I have the flu,, but no cold symptoms. I found a prescription for amoxicillin and clindamycin for an infected tooth that I had previously. I leave in two days for alaska for a vacation. What should I do?
Hi dear, Most probably your condition is not serious, you could be having common throat infection or cold, sometimes you can have mild infection with fever without obvious symptoms. The lower right back pain could be unrelated to the fever you have, it could be due some activities you did that caused you the pain. However, you should remember that fever with back pain could indicate that there is infection in your back or kidneys and must be seen and evaluated by a doctor. Unfortunately in your question you haven't included how long you had this condition so I can't reach to a better conclusion. Therefore, read below for my suggestion. If you had fever and back pain for 5 days or more with no any betterment of the symptoms then visit Doctor immediately. If you got fever and back pain about a day or two days ago then start taking Paracetamol 500 mg 4 times a day and continue for 3 days, if your fever and pain doesn't reduce with taking paracetamol, or you still have fever after 3 days of taking the medicine then visit a Doctor. Wishing you all the best
