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 allI'm feeling pretty worried because I've been experiencing weakness, a mild fever, pain just below my ribs, loss of appetite, and dizziness. When I went to the doctor, they said I have typhoid and that the pain below my ribs is due to swelling in my spleen. They did a Widal test and a blood test. Lately, I've also started having pain in my left shoulder. I'm not sure if the medicine the doctor prescribed is meant to treat both the typhoid and the spleen issue. Should I consider consulting another doctor about this? The prescription says I should take Tab Pyroflox, Olgerd D, Dolo 650, and SunUp S.

I'm feeling really weak and lazy after recovering from typhoid. It's like I'm always tired and can barely keep my eyes open. I even get these mild headaches now and then. Is this normal after typhoid, or should I be worried? What can I do to feel better?
Following typhoid recovery, it's common to experience lingering weakness, fatigue, and laziness due to the body's depleted nutrient reserves and the lingering effects of the infection; to alleviate these symptoms, ensure adequate rest, hydration, and nutrition, including foods rich in iron, vitamins B12 and D, and protein

I'm really concerned about my brother who was diagnosed with Dengue fever yesterday. His platelet count was at 110,000 the day before yesterday, but today it's dropped to 69,000. Even though he seems to be feeling better, I'm worried because the platelet count is declining. The doctor has advised us to keep him at home and rest with fluids like coconut water, but should we be thinking about admitting him to the hospital instead? I'm not sure if we should stick with what our current doctor says or maybe seek a second opinion. What do you think?
Platelet count dropping to 69K in Dengue fever is a cause of concern, especially if it continues to decrease. However, as long as the patient is feeling better than yesterday, it may not be an immediate emergency. It is important to monitor the platelet count closely and watch for any signs of bleeding or other complications. The doctor may have recommended medications like Paracetamol for fever and pain, as well as fluids like coconut water to stay hydrated. Additionally, it is important to get plenty of rest. One medication that can help in increasing platelet count is Carica Papaya leaf extract.
