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.

View allSo, my friend's nail accidentally scratched me and now there's some blood. Should I be worried about an infection from this scratch?
If the scratch breaks the skin and draws blood, there is a risk of infection. It is important to clean the area thoroughly with soap and water. You can apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection. Keep the area covered with a bandage until it heals. If you notice any signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, warmth, or drainage of pus, you should seek medical attention.

I'm experiencing a fever that started yesterday, and while my overall body temperature is elevated, I've noticed that my hands and feet feel even hotter than the rest of me. Could this be an indication of something specific?
Recovering from jaundice requires patience and careful monitoring. _Possible Reasons for Mild Fever and Nausea_ 1. _Residual liver inflammation_: Although your bilirubin levels have normalized, your liver might still be recovering, causing mild inflammation and fever. 2. _Medication side effects_: Liv 52, Ulsys 300, and Nirocil syrup can cause nausea and mild fever as side effects. 3. _Gastrointestinal issues_: Nausea and mild fever can be symptoms of gastrointestinal issues, such as gastritis or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). 4. _Relapse or re-infection_: Although unlikely, it's essential to consider the possibility of a relapse or re-infection, especially if you're not following proper hygiene and dietary guidelines. _Test Results_ 1. _Bilirubin 0.7_: Within normal range (0.1-1.2 mgdL). 2. _SGOT 90 and SGPT 65_: Slightly elevated liver enzymes, indicating some residual liver inflammation. _Next Steps_ 1. _Consult your doctor_: Discuss your symptoms and test results with your doctor to determine the best course of action. 2. _Monitor your symptoms_: Keep track of your fever, nausea, and any other symptoms to share with your doctor. 3. _Adhere to your treatment plan_: Continue taking your prescribed medications and following your dietary guidelines. 4. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of water to help your liver function properly.

I'm really concerned about whether it's safe to use Betadine 10 solution, the kind that's labeled for wound cleaning, as a gargle. The bottle specifically says it's for external use only, and I don't want to do anything harmful. Could you let me know if it's okay to use this way or if I should avoid it?
No, Betadine 10% solution, which is typically labeled for external use only, should not be used for gargling or any internal use
