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 wondering if having a 650ml bottle of beer every day is okay for my health. I usually just have one bottle each day and I'm a bit concerned about if it's safe or if it could cause any health issues. Could you share your thoughts on this?

Congratulations on your twin babies! Both Nan Pro and Nan Excella Pro are good options. Nan Pro is a standard infant formula, suitable for most babies. Nan Excella Pro has additional benefits like DHA, Choline, and Iron, supporting brain and eye development. If your doctor recommends one over the other, follow their advice. If not, Nan Excella Pro might be a better choice due to its extra nutritional benefits.

I've been taking dolo 650 for the last couple of days because my fever isn't going below 100 degrees. Is it okay if I take two dolo 650 tablets at once, or should I be considering something else since it's been persistent for 2 days? I'm really just looking for some guidance on how to get better.

It's generally not recommended to take two Dolo 650 tablets at once, as it could lead to an overdose of paracetamol. If your fever persists, it's best to consult a doctor to determine the appropriate treatment or dosage for your situation. Make sure to stay hydrated and rest well!

I've been recovering from dengue and it's been a week since I got better. My platelet count is over 250,000 now, but my TLC was 4000 a week ago. I'm itching to get back to my routine! I don't do heavy stuff, just some skipping and a few exercises. Is it okay for me to start again?

After recovering from dengue, it's essential to gradually resume physical activities, so you can start with low-intensity exercises like skipping and light cardio, but wait for at least 2-3 weeks before resuming full-fledged exercise routine, and ensure you're consuming a balanced diet rich in nutrients, iron, and folic acid to replenish lost platelets and support overall recovery, under the guidance of your doctor.
