I've been dealing with a dry cough for a few days now and have been taking Benadryl dry cough syrup, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Could you recommend any tablets that might work better?

I've been feeling under the weather since this morning after drinking really cold water. My throat's sore and it hurts to swallow anything, plus I feel like I've got a bit of a fever. Could this be a throat infection? What should I do to feel better?

You may have developed a throat infection, also known as pharyngitis. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen for the fever and throat pain. Additionally, you can use lozenges containing benzocaine or menthol to help numb the throat and make swallowing easier. It is also important to stay hydrated by drinking warm fluids like tea with honey. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my dad. He took Lipaglyn 4mg for his high cholesterol as his doctor suggested, but now he's got a fever of 102F, body aches, and his throat is bothering him. We gave him Dolo last night, which brought the fever down a little to 100.5F, but this morning it's back up to 101.5F. We gave him Dolo again, but I'm not sure what else to do since it's Sunday and I can't reach a doctor. What would you suggest we do next?

Its possible that the fever and symptoms are unrelated to Lipaglyn and might be due to an infection. Continue giving Dolo as needed (every 6 hours) to manage the fever and ensure your father stays hydrated. If the symptoms persist or worsen, visit a doctor as soon as possible.

I'm feeling really worried because I've been experiencing something like an internal fever. My palms and feet are constantly burning, and I'm not sure what's going on. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

You may need investigations such as CBC to rule out infections. You may require antipyretics or antiinflammatory medication. In the mean time, avoid cold food and water, do not skip meals and opt for a softer diet before progressing to heavier foods and increase intake of vitamin C rich foods such as citric fruits. Drink plenty of fluids and take sufficient rest.
