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'm a bit confused about the medication I was prescribed. Should I be taking the ifin 500 and hhlevo M before or after I eat? It's not clear on the label, and I want to make sure I'm doing it right. Would love some guidance on this.

I've been feeling pretty awful for the past couple of days, like I've got this constant headache, and my body just feels so weak and tired. It's like I've got chills one minute, then I'm all tingly and aching all over the next. I can't seem to get comfortableI'm freezing sometimes and then super hot, and I've been sweating a lot. To top it all off, last night I threw up this really bitter yellow fluid. It's starting to worry me. Any idea what's going on with me?

You'll need some further investigations and a tweak in your medication

I've got this sharp, stabbing pain on the left side of my chest, but it only happens when I sleep on my left side. If I sleep on my right, there's no pain. It just started last night. I've also got a mild flu going on but no fever, and my stomach seems okay even though I have these on and off digestion issues like irritable bowel. Should I be worried about this chest pain, or is it likely linked to the flu or something else?

Differential diagnosis coild be decongestion,GERD,Cold weather,etc, u can take tab ZIFI 200 mg twice daily for 5 days, if symtoms not subsiding ,cardiac opinion is advised.
