My child has been dealing with a cough for almost a year now, and we've tried multiple government hospitals, but nothing seems to be working. I can't afford private doctors or medication. Is there anything you suggest we can do?

View allI've just realized that I took some expired Augmentin, and I'm currently breastfeeding. I'm pretty worried and not sure what to do next. Should I continue feeding my baby, or could this be harmful to them in any way? Would love some advice on this.
This Widal test report suggests that you may have a typhoid infection. The elevated titers for S Typhi 'O' (1160) and S Typhi 'H' (1180) indicate exposure to Salmonella Typhi. The report also shows some reactivity to S Para Typhi 'AH' and 'BH', which may indicate a past or concurrent Paratyphoid infection. Consult a healthcare professional for interpretation and guidance.

Why does fever increase at night?
Normally, core body temperature is low in the morning and increases by few degree by the evening. So, a fever that was slight during the day can easliy spike by the night. Additionally, cortisol releases as a response to infection which is believed to be a protective mechanism against over activation of inflammatory system in the body. During night time, this protective mechanism is missed due to low cortisol levels and fever increases due to activation of inflammatory system.
