My dad was admitted about a week ago. His white blood cell count was 16,800, but it's normal now. However, the Widal test came back positive at 1:160. He's on treatment with Pipzo 4.5g injections, Pantop, Ns 500ml, Nurostar injections, and taking Calpol 650 and Cefuroxime 500 twice a day. Is this the right approach? I'm a bit worried and could use some guidance.

I'm a bit worried after getting my blood test results which show that my CRP level is 1.6 mgL. I've read that this is considered a moderate risk, but I'm not exactly sure what it all means. Could you help me understand more about CRP and whether there's anything to be concerned about with my health?

CRP is indirect marker for active or recent infection,your CRP levels are normal no need to worry,consume balanced diet and more fruits.

I've been dealing with a normal fever, cough, and cold, and I'm feeling pretty weak. I've heard about a medication called 'oncet cf' and I'm considering taking half a tab three times a day. I also came across Clavam 375, which is 1 tab twice a day, and Dolo 650, half a tab twice a day. Do you think this is a good course of action for my symptoms? Are there any side effects or interactions I should be worried about with these meds?
