I'm a bit worried about the fumes from soldering since I do a bit of it at home, not regularly, just when needed. I don't really use any protection from the fumes, and I'm curious about how harmful they might be to my lungs. What kind of diseases could these fumes cause? Would a normal medical mask do anything to help with prevention? It's been hard finding much info on this, so I thought I'd ask here.

Can taking paracetamol help with a stomachache? I'm not sure if it's safe or effective for this kind of pain. What do you think?

Paracetamol is not typically recommended for stomach aches, as it's primarily used to relieve headaches, fever, and body aches; instead, consider over-the-counter antacids or acid reducers like ranitidine or omeprazole, but if your stomach ache persists or worsens, consult a doctor to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

I'm really worried because I've had body pain and a mild fever for the past three days. The doctor recommended I get some blood and urine tests done, and the results show pus cells at 25-30 WBCHPF and epithelial cells at 10-15. Could this be something serious, or is it more of a normal finding? What should I do next?

The presence of 25-30 WBCHPF (pus cells) and 10-15 epithelial cells suggests an infection or inflammation, likely in the urinary tract. It's important to follow up with your doctor to interpret the results and determine if you need treatment, such as antibiotics or further tests.

I'm dealing with a fever that's been going on for two days now. The doctor mentioned it's viral, but I'm just wondering how long it'll usually take to get better. Would it be a few more days, or could it last longer?

-Viral fevers usually last 35 days, but rest and hydration can help you recover faster. If the fever persists beyond 5 days or worsens, follow up with your doctor. Take care!
