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.

I'm thinking about taking Meconerv 1500mcg for Vitamin B12. Is it okay if I use it with D360 sachet? Is there anything I should be concerned about?

I'm feeling pretty rough since last night with this body ache. Now it's morning, and I'm dealing with the body ache, plus a headache and a slight fever. What medicine can I take to help? I want to mention that I'm allergic to floxacin.

-You can take paracetamol (500 mg) to reduce the fever, headache, and body acheone tablet every 68 hours as needed. Stay hydrated and rest. Since you're allergic to floxacin, avoid antibiotics without a doctor's consultation.

What is the healthiest sleeping position?

Every individual is different, there is no "one-size-fits-all" position to sleep. One needs to follow what works for their body and sleep needs. Sleeping on left side curling your legs and placing a pillow in between your knees is good for low back, during pregnancy, reduces snoring and acid reflux. Lying on stomach is good for snoring and sleep apnea. Sleeping flat on your back protects the spine, relieves hip and knee pain.
