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?

View allI'm really worried about what's happening with my health lately. Around 20 days ago, I had typhoid without a fever, just mild symptoms. It came with weakness, headaches, and gas, and after a blood test, it was confirmed as typhoid. My doctor said it might have been around for 2-3 months before that. I took antibiotics for 12 days and finished them 5-6 days ago. But yesterday, I started experiencing gas problems and a heavy feeling below my chest. Mornings seem worse with intense weakness, like there's no blood in my body, sleepiness, a slight headache, and pain in both legs. I also have a slight fever, and my anxiety spikes before breakfast, though it calms down a bit after I eat. I'm curious if this is another condition or if the typhoid hasn't cleared up yet. What do you think?
It is possible that your symptoms could be related to the typhoid infection not being completely cured. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking a proton pump inhibitor like Pantoprazole 40mg once daily before breakfast to help with the gas problem and congestion below the chest area. Additionally, you can take a multivitamin supplement like Becosules capsule once daily after breakfast to help with the weakness and sleepiness. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your doctor for further management.

I'm feeling pretty worried because I've been dealing with a fever, sore throat, and this dry cough for the past three days. I saw a doctor and started on Cifran 500 mg and Crocine. But now I've started shivering, and my temperature is around 99.4F. Do you have any advice on what I should do next? Its starting to concern me.
To help manage your symptoms: Medication 1. Continue Cifran 500 mg: Complete the full course as prescribed by your doctor to ensure the infection is fully treated. 2. Crocine: Continue taking Crocine as directed for fever management. Additional Measures 1. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids, such as water, clear broths, and electrolyte-rich beverages like coconut water or sports drinks. 2. Rest: Get plenty of rest to help your body recover. 3. Warm liquids: Enjoy warm liquids like tea, broth, or soup to help soothe your throat and ease congestion. 4. Honey: Consider adding honey to your warm liquids, as it has antimicrobial and soothing properties. 5. Saline gargle: Gargle with warm saline water several times a day to help reduce throat inflammation. 6. Humidify: Use a humidifier to add moisture to the air, which can help relieve dry cough and congestion. Monitoring 1. Temperature: Keep track of your temperature. If it exceeds 102F (39C) or lasts for an extended period, consult your doctor. 2. Symptom progression: Monitor your symptoms. If they worsen or you experience difficulty breathing, chest pain, or severe headache, seek immediate medical attention.
