I've had a throat infection and fever since the night of the 18th. I've been taking paracetamol and zifi 200, but as soon as the medication wears off, the fever comes back. Can you suggest what other medicine I should consider taking?

It seems like you may need a stronger antibiotic for your throat infection. I recommend taking Augmentin along with continuing paracetamol for fever. Additionally, you can try Betadine gargles for relief of throat symptoms. Remember to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed.

View allCan a lymph node under my jaw swell because I've been touching it a lot? I've been doing this for a few days now and I'm getting really worried. Could my habit of touching be causing this swelling?
Yes, continuous touching or irritating a lymph node can cause it to swell. It is important to avoid touching or pressing on the swollen lymph node. You can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen to help reduce any discomfort. If the swelling persists or worsens, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm a 32-year-old guy and I've been dealing with something odd for a while. My body, especially my hands, always feel really hot, and people often ask me if I have a fever when I shake their hands. This has been going on for many years and I'm starting to get worried. Could there be something going on with my health? Any advice would be appreciated.
it sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of hyperhidrosis, which is excessive sweating that can make your body feel hot. I recommend trying anticholinergic medications such as Glycopyrrolate. This medication can help reduce excessive sweating and make you feel more comfortable. Remember to stay hydrated and avoid triggers that may worsen your symptoms.

I've been dealing with a cold and body ache for about a week now. When I got some blood tests done, they showed I have both Typhoid and Malaria. It's been tough, and I've been taking medication for the past three days, but I'm still not feeling much better. Another thing that's bothering me is this really dark yellow urine I've noticed since yesterday. Could this be because of the medicines I'm taking? Is this something I should be worried about?
Persistent Fever, Muscle Pain, and Headache _Possible Causes_ 1. _Viral infections_: Influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), or other viral infections can cause persistent fever, muscle pain, and headache. 2. _Bacterial infections_: Prolonged use of Augmentin (amoxicillin-clavulanate) without improvement suggests the infection might be resistant to the antibiotic or not bacterial in nature. 3. _Other conditions_: Autoimmune disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, can cause persistent fever, muscle pain, and headache. _Recommendations_ 1. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or an infectious disease specialist to reassess your symptoms and adjust treatment. 2. _Blood tests and imaging studies_: Your doctor may order blood tests (e.g., complete blood count, inflammatory markers) and imaging studies (e.g., chest X-ray, ultrasound) to rule out underlying conditions. 3. _Antiviral medication or alternative antibiotics_: Depending on the diagnosis, your doctor may prescribe antiviral medication or alternative antibiotics. 4. _Pain management_: Continue taking Paracetamol (acetaminophen) as directed for pain relief. 5. _Rest and hydration_: Ensure you're getting plenty of rest and staying hydrated to help your body recover.
