I'm dealing with a really frustrating dry cough and a bit of a fever, and on top of that, I have some back pain too. I'm wondering if MUCOCID Decongestant tablets might help with all these symptoms. Is it a good idea to use them for what I'm going through, or should I be looking at something else?

View allI've had nose congestion for the past three days, and last night it got a lot worse, with my chest feeling congested while I was breathing. Should I be worried about this, and what can I do to feel better?
It sounds like you're dealing with a combination of nasal and chest congestion, which could be due to a viral infection or allergies. It's important to rest, stay hydrated, and consider using a decongestant or steam inhalation. If your symptoms worsen or you experience difficulty breathing, seeking medical attention would be advisable.

I'm really confused about my situationI've been feeling weak for the past two weeks. When I went to the doctor, they said it's likely a viral infection. But I'm also dealing with congestion in my head and ears, like there's something similar to a cough. After five days of taking meds, nothing's changed. The doc suggested a blood and urine test; everything came out normal except my S Typhi O levels, which are 1160 positive. Does this mean I have typhoid? I'm not running a fever, though, my temperature is just around 97. Could this still be typhoid even without a fever?
Based on your symptoms and the positive result for S Typhi O, it is possible that you have a mild form of typhoid fever. Even though you do not have a high fever, a positive S Typhi O test result at 1:160 indicates exposure to the bacteria that cause typhoid. It is important to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed by your doctor to ensure the infection is completely cleared. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest to help your body recover.

I'm really worried because I've had a fever for more than two weeks now. I've been taking an antiflu antibiotic as well, but I'm not sure if this is normal or how much longer it'll take for me to fully recover. Is there anything else I should be doing or looking out for?
A fever persisting for more than two weeks is not normal and may indicate a secondary infection or complications from the flu. If you've already taken antiflu antibiotics and your fever persists, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment. The flu typically lasts from a few days to two weeks,
