I've been experiencing some discomfort with a slight pain in my left rib area, and lately, I've started feeling cold and have a light cough with some mucus. I think the rib pain might be caused by my posture since I've been spending a lot of time working on my laptop. Could you offer some advice on what steps I should take to feel better?

Ive been prescribed doxy 1 l dr Forte capsules, but I cant seem to find them at any pharmacy. Is it okay if I take DOXT sl capsules as an alternative? I'm a bit worried about making a change without consulting someone first.

Typically, tablets are swallowed with water. However, some tablets, like sublingual or orally disintegrating tablets, are designed to melt in the mouth. Check the medication label or packaging insert for specific instructions. If unsure, consult your healthcare provider to avoid incorrect administration. Your doctor or pharmacist can provide personalized guidance.

I've been having a fever between 100 and 102 that keeps coming back for the past 15 days, along with some body pain. I'm really worried and unsure what to do. Could you give me some advice?

Persistent fever and body pain for 15 days may indicate an underlying infection that needs to be addressed. I recommend taking Tab Paracetamol 500mg every 6 hours to help reduce the fever and body pain. Additionally, it is important to stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and eat nutritious foods. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Can you tell me what the Widal test is? The doctor wanted me to do this test because I had a continuous fever, but my malaria test was negative. The result came back as 1320, but I haven't been able to meet the doctor since the test. I took this test about two weeks ago. I'm not sure what this means.

yes you can take it
