I'm wondering which doctor I should see for a full body check-up. The report includes details about every part of my body, like my heart, liver, and bones. Who would be the best specialist to go to for this kind of comprehensive review?

View allI accidentally took three allercet 5 mg tablets today instead of just one, having them in the morning, afternoon, and night. Are there any side effects I should be worried about because of this?
Taking 3 Allercet 5 mg tablets in a day instead of the prescribed 1 tablet is generally unlikely to cause severe side effects. However, it may lead to symptoms like drowsiness, dry mouth, or dizziness. If you experience any unusual or severe symptoms, it's best to consult a healthcare professional for further advice.

I've been dealing with a sore throat that sometimes hurts a bit when I swallow, plus I've got this pain in my left shoulder. I've also been feeling pretty weak for about 5 days now. Should I be worried about this combination of symptoms, and do you think I need to see a doctor?
-It sounds like you're dealing with a combination of a sore throat, shoulder pain, and general weakness. This could be due to a viral infection or even muscle strain, but if it persists, it's a good idea to consult a doctor for further evaluation.

I've been told by my doctor to get both an ESR and a CBC done. But a friend mentioned that ESR is actually a part of the CBC or Complete Hemogram. Can you clarify this for me? I'm a bit confused and want to make sure I understand what tests I need.
ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) is not a part of CBC (Complete Blood Count) or Complete Hemogram, although both tests are often ordered together; ESR measures the rate at which red blood cells settle in a test tube, indicating inflammation or infection, whereas CBC provides a broader analysis of blood components, including red and white blood cell counts, hemoglobin, and platelets.
