My father's been on lymph node tuberculosis treatment for 8 months now. The nodes have disappeared, which is great, but he's still feeling super weak and tired all the time. On top of that, he's also getting treated for depression. Could you give us any advice or suggestions on what might help him feel better?

I'm a software engineer, and I have to commute 60 km a day, which leaves me feeling tired all the time. I've been considering taking Revital capsules to help with my energy levels. Is it safe to start taking them on my own, or should I consult a doctor first?

Revital Capsule contains ginseng extract, multivitamins, folic acid and various other minerals. It is considered safe for use without a physician's prescription. However, if you notice any symptoms developing after taking the medication, you may be allergic to one or more of its ingredients.

I've been taking mefenamic acid and co-amoxicillin for my tonsillitis, and it's been four days. The pain and swelling in my tonsils have gone down a lot. I'm wondering if it's okay to stop the mefenamic acid now and just continue with the co-amoxicillin?

Antibiotics typically eliminate the infection in about 10 days. Symptoms usually improve within 2 or 3 days after starting antibiotics. so continue treatment as advised by your doctor
