I'm really worried about my husband. He's dealing with chicken pox right now and besides the rash, he's got a really bad headache and fever. It's making me anxious. Is this normal with chicken pox, or should we be more concerned about these symptoms? What should we do to help him feel better?

I'm experiencing some body pain, a slight fever, and a sore throat for the past couple of days. Could this be from a stomach infection? I tend to get those often. Is it alright to take aldigesic p, norflox tz, and azilide at the same time for this?

As of now you can take a tab. Paracetamol 650mg thrice a day after food for 2 days. If it still persists, you can start a online consultation with me so that I can take a detailed history and suggest you further

I'm feeling pretty worried because I've been experiencing weakness, a mild fever, pain just below my ribs, loss of appetite, and dizziness. When I went to the doctor, they said I have typhoid and that the pain below my ribs is due to swelling in my spleen. They did a Widal test and a blood test. Lately, I've also started having pain in my left shoulder. I'm not sure if the medicine the doctor prescribed is meant to treat both the typhoid and the spleen issue. Should I consider consulting another doctor about this? The prescription says I should take Tab Pyroflox, Olgerd D, Dolo 650, and SunUp S.
