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?

I've been having a really annoying dry cough lately and it's been keeping me up at night. I've tried drinking more fluids and using a humidifier, but it's not getting any better. Do you have any recommendations for a good cough syrup specifically for dry coughs? I'd love to know what might actually help soothe this!

You can use Grylinctus dx or Ascoril

I've been feeling really unwell since yesterday with symptoms like a headache, fever, and loose motions. There's also this intense pain in my stomach, and it's making me feel really weak. Could you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do to feel better?

For your symptoms, you can take Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg for headache and fever. For loose motions, you can take Loperamide 2mg. Additionally, you can take Omeprazole 20mg for stomach pain. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest.

I've been feeling pretty rough with a cold and flu, plus my nose won't stop running, and swallowing is really hard. I also have hay fever, so I'm kinda worried if that's making everything worse. Could this be something more than just a cold? What should I do to feel better?
