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 concerned because I've been running a low-grade fever for about 10 days now. Every evening, it goes up to 99 or 100 degrees. I've already tested for dengue, malaria, and typhoid, and all came back negative, but the fever's still there. What do you think might be causing this, and what should I do next?

I'm a bit confused because my doctor prescribed me Nurokind 1500 mg tablets, but the pharmacy gave me Nurokind OD tablets instead. Are these the same thing? And how exactly should I be taking these Nurokind OD tablets? Should I just swallow them?

Nurokind 1500 mg and Nurokind OD are similar, containing Methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12), but with different formulations; Nurokind OD is designed for once-daily dosing, typically with a higher strength (e.g., 2500-3000 mcg), and should be swallowed whole with water, once daily, at the same time.
