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 really worried because I've had body pain and a mild fever for the past three days. The doctor recommended I get some blood and urine tests done, and the results show pus cells at 25-30 WBCHPF and epithelial cells at 10-15. Could this be something serious, or is it more of a normal finding? What should I do next?

The presence of 25-30 WBCHPF (pus cells) and 10-15 epithelial cells suggests an infection or inflammation, likely in the urinary tract. It's important to follow up with your doctor to interpret the results and determine if you need treatment, such as antibiotics or further tests.

I'm trying to understand if it's okay for someone who's generally in good health to start taking Zincovit tablets every day to boost their immunity, especially with everything going on with the Covid pandemic. Is it safe to use these daily, or could there be any side effects I should be aware of?

take it once in a week as immunity booster
