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 really worried about my condition. I've been dealing with typhoid for the last three months and was on monocef injections. Now, I'm constantly getting a low-grade fever between 99 and 100, especially after even a small amount of exertion, though it gets better with rest. I was just told I have a vitamin D deficiency with a level of 7.3 from the CLIA method, and my blood pressure seems low too. I'm not currently taking any medication. What could be causing all of this, and what should I do next?

_Potential Harms_ 1. _Skin irritation_: Dettol can cause skin irritation, dryness, and discoloration, especially on sensitive genital skin. 2. _Reduced sensitivity_: Irritation and inflammation can lead to reduced sensitivity in the affected area. _Treatment and Precautions_ 1. _Stop using Dettol_: Immediately stop using Dettol or any harsh antiseptic on your genital area. 2. _Mild soap and water_: Clean your genital area with mild soap and warm water. 3. _Moisturize_: Apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to help soothe and hydrate the affected skin. 4. _Avoid scratching_: Refrain from scratching the affected area to prevent further irritation and potential infection. _Recovery and Follow-up_ 1. _Allow time to heal_: Give your skin time to heal and recover from the irritation. 2. _Monitor for infection_: Watch for signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, or discharge, and seek medical attention if they occur. 3. _Consult a healthcare professional_: If you experience persistent discomfort, reduced sensitivity, or concerns about your genital health, consult a healthcare professional for personalized guidance. _Remember_ 1. _Genital skin is sensitive_: Be gentle when cleaning and caring for your genital area. 2. _Avoid harsh chemicals_: Refrain from using harsh antiseptics, such as Dettol, on your genital area.

I've been dealing with a high fever for three days, and it kept staying over 101 and even hit 103.5 at one point before dropping to 99.5 on the same day. I checked in with a doctor and was told to take Dolo 650 and Meftal Forte, which I did. But now, three days later, I'm still feeling super weak, sleeping around 18 hours a day. Some old muscle pains in my left hand have started up again too, which might be from being so weak. I've been taking Neromet, a multi-vitamin, and vitamin C tablets, but they're not helping much. Today I've noticed redness all over my body, which I think could be an allergic reaction to some medication since this has never happened before. What could be going on here?

Hi Sunil, it seems like your body is still recovering from the fever, which is causing the prolonged weakness and muscle pain. The redness could be an allergic reaction to the medication, and it's important to consult your doctor to rule out any severe reactions. Rest, hydration, and monitoring your symptoms closely are key; if the redness worsens or new symptoms appear, seek immediate medical attention.
