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 dealing with a 103-degree fever and intense pain in my hands and muscles for the past three days. I also have a cold and cough but no vomiting or digestive issues, and my blood reports came back normal. I'm taking Dolo 650 every 4 hours, as well as Monocef 200mg, Rantac 150mg, and Ascoril syrup. My fever went down last night but came back this morning. Is there any way to get rid of this fever quickly? I'm really worried about what's causing it.
The symptoms you've described suggest you may be experiencing anal fissures, small tears in the lining of the anus. Hard stools can cause pain and discomfort, while softer stools may not exacerbate the issue. Consult a gastroenterologist or a proctologist for a proper evaluation and treatment.

Chest Pain After Eating _Possible Causes_: 1. _Acid Reflux (GERD)_: Stomach acid flowing up into the esophagus can cause chest pain, especially after eating spicy foods. 2. _Gastroesophageal Junction Disorder_: Abnormal relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter can lead to acid reflux and chest pain. 3. _Esophageal Spasm_: Muscle contractions in the esophagus can cause chest pain, especially after eating. _Relief Measures_: 1. _Sleeping Position_: Lying down can help alleviate symptoms, as you've noticed. 2. _Avoid Trigger Foods_: Reduce or avoid spicy, fatty, or acidic foods that can trigger acid reflux. 3. _Antacids or Acid Reducers_: Over-the-counter medications like Tums, Rolaids, or Zantac can help neutralize stomach acid.
