[|Human|] hi my husband 56 years old. who is healthy with no medical conditions and a check up 12 months ago. he has a cough, bp is up and pulse is 92. He also has a fever that comes and goes. this just started yesterday. The sore throat is better with advil. He is never sick is this possible the flu?
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. Hi this seems like flu. don't worry. Pulse rate tends to increase during fever as fever increases basal metabolic rate of the body. Consult a physician for medications like - Antibiotics(Amoxicillin tablet 500 mg thrice a day for 7 days), antipyretic (Acetaminophen 500 mg only when fever is there) to bring down fever along with Advil (Ibuprofen) that he is already taking.
