Question 1

I've been dealing with a lot of strange symptoms lately and I'm getting really worried about whether this might be omicron. So it all started with a sore throat a couple of weeks ago, which went away with medicine, but then I got a dry cough right after. The cough stopped, but since then, I've had this crazy muscle pain all over my body. I switched doctors and did a CBC test; the results showed my WBC and platelets were a bit high. The new doctor gave me amoxicillin, pacimol, and zecal active. The body pain faded, but now I have a cold and a lot of wet coughing. I skipped pacimol once, and that muscle pain is back with a vengeance. I haven't done a test yet because my exams are coming up and I'm always on the move in Mumbai local trains, although I wear a double mask and I'm fully vaccinated. Still, could this be omicron? Should I just take something like limcee, steam, or pcm at home? What steps should I follow to get better?

Accepted Answer

It's possible that you have a viral infection (possibly Omicron or another strain of flu), but you should ideally get tested to confirm.
At-home measures such as rest, hydration, steam inhalation, and PCM can help manage your symptoms.
Keep your doctor updated if symptoms persist or worsen.
Lastly, double masking and social distancing are important, especially since you're traveling in crowded areas. Keep monitoring your symptoms, and consult your doctor if you're unsure about any medications or treatments.

Question 2

I've been feeling really sick for about three weeks now, and it's getting frustrating. I used coartem and ciprotab during the first week, and while the body pains stopped, I'm still feeling super weak and feverish. It's hard to sleep, and every morning I wake up feeling terrible. I got tested for malaria and typhoid, and both came back negative. I tried paracetamol, and it helped a bit for a couple of days, but then I went back to feeling awful. I just can't figure out what's going on with my body, and I'm really worried. Any ideas on what could be happening?

TABLET ETIZOLA PLUS ONE AT NIGHT FOR SEVEN TO TEN DAYS

Question 3

I've been experiencing this sharp pain on my right side just below my rib cage. It feels like a pinching sensation, especially when I take a deep breath. A couple of days ago, the same area was really itchy, but it felt like it was deep in my lungs. I can't figure out what's going on because I don't have any other symptoms like fever or body pain. I did have a cough and cold a few days ago though. Could this be something serious? What might be causing this?

Accepted Answer

Ecg and x-ray chest pa view is advised to the patient.

I just found out my Widal test came back positive yesterday. I'm really concerned and was wondering if there are any specific diet precautions I should be taking for typhoid. What should I avoid eating or include in my meals to help with recovery?
