I'm dealing with worms and it's been bothering me for a bit now. I'm also breastfeeding my baby. Is it safe to take medication for the worms while I'm feeding? I'm just really worried about any possible effects on my baby.

I've started taking Lariago DS and took 2 tablets at 2 PM. Then, around 4:30 PM, I suddenly developed a fever hitting 102. So I took some paracetamol. Can you tell me if it's okay to mix paracetamol with Lariago DS? Really looking forward to your advice.

I've been having fever on and off for the past few weeks. Initially, I was diagnosed with typhoid on May 11th and started a 10-day course of antibiotics, which seemed to work at first. But just a week after finishing the medication, the fever returned, and I tried some home remedies, which only temporarily controlled it. Now, my fever is back at 100F, and I'm feeling quite down about it. Can you please advise on what steps I should take next?
