I've been dealing with a cough and cold for over two weeks now. My GP advised me to check my blood, and it turns out my ESR is 30 and AEC is 480. He told me to take Diethylcarbamazine and Chlorphenaramine. Is it safe to take these medications along with my current thyroid medication, Atorvastatin, and Fefol? I'm just a bit nervous about mixing them all.

I'm feeling a bit worried. So, I was having some trouble swallowing and the doctor prescribed me Aziwok 500 once a day and Calpol twice a day for 5 days. It's been 2 days, and my throat's feeling better, but now I'm running a fever of about 101. Should I be concerned or do anything specific about this?

this could be pharyngitis,take warm foods,and adequate rest do salt water gargling threetime a day and visit your ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.

I had some hot milk this evening and now I'm wondering if it's okay to drink water about half an hour afterward. Will that cause any issues with digestion?

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?

It could be UTI so i think you should consult physician to test for uti and others infectious foci in our body
