Question 1

My mom's been running a high fever for the last couple of days. The doctor suggested she take doxcef cv, dolo 650, and meftal 500. She's been on these meds for a bit now, but her fever isnt dropping below 102. Can we give her meftal two hours after she takes dolo? Any advice would be appreciated.

Accepted Answer

It's generally safe to alternate Dolo 650 and Meftal 500 for fever management, but they should be spaced out by at least 4 hours, not 2 hours. Since her fever is persistent, it might be helpful to contact the doctor again for further evaluation. Keep her hydrated and monitor her temperature regularly.

Question 2

I'm wondering if there are any services where I can have samples like blood or urine collected at my home for a health checkup, specifically for things like TB or cancer concerns? It would be really helpful to know if such at-home testing options are available.

Accepted Answer

tuberculosis can be checked through sputum sample

Question 3

I'm really concerned about having a fever every evening for the past two months. It never goes above 100 degrees in the evenings but stays under 98.6 in the morning and during the day. I consulted a pulmonologist and had a chest contrast CT scan. The results showed small calcified left hilar lymph nodes. Could this be causing my evening fever? I'm also starting to feel weak and tired with my daily activities. Could you give me some insight into what's going on?

Accepted Answer

I've been feeling a weird pain in the bone area near my chest, just to the left of the breastbone. It really hurts when I press on it, and sometimes I get this sudden shock-like pain when I breathe. When I don't press it, there's usually no pain. What could be causing this?
