My partner is very sick, he was outside in the snow 2 days ago, and now he has a mild fever, but his body is cold, has a bad cough, sharp chest pains, dizzy and nausea, his teeth and gums are tingling as well. hot and cold flashes, shivering, looks very pale and ill. What should I do?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should definitely take him to hospital to rule out pneumonia. Lung infection (pneumonia) is very common in cold, snowing environment. His symptoms are more suggestive of pneumonia. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and chest x-ray. He may need higher antibiotics and other supportive treatment. Don't worry, he will be alright. Just take him to hospital. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your boyfriend. Thanks.
