Night sweats, headaches, dizziness

I was at the doctor today (chiropractor)... because I had headaches all the time and I also had pain in my cervical spine.
He adjusted me and then gave me two injections.
Ten days ago I took antibiotics for bronchitis. I also coughed up blood twice during the bronchitis. My lungs were x-rayed in November and a complete blood count was done in December. Sinus cavities were also examined by CT scan.
For days now, I have been waking up drenched in sweat at night.
Now I feel warm, I just measured my fever and it is 38 degrees Celsius. I also feel dizzy. I am tired all day long!!
What is this now? But it can't be something like Ebola or cancer or tuberculosis, right??
Good evening,
Your cervical spine has nothing to do with it, but it should not be adjusted; it is too delicate for that, you should only do that for the thoracic or lumbar spine.
Ebola presents different symptoms, tuberculosis or cancer would have been seen back in November.
It is most likely that you had a mixed infection of viruses and bacteria. The antibiotic kills the bacteria, but not the viruses, and they may have re-emerged and caused another flu-like infection.
You should definitely get a sick note tomorrow. Then we can consider whether a blood test is necessary; probably not.
Please go to bed early and only take fever-reducing medication if your fever goes towards 39. Viruses do not like fever and are more likely to die off with it.
Get well soon!
Warm regards, Dr. Höllering
