Every individual is different, there is no "one-size-fits-all" position to sleep. One needs to follow what works for their body and sleep needs. Sleeping on left side curling your legs and placing a pillow in between your knees is good for low back, during pregnancy, reduces snoring and acid reflux. Lying on stomach is good for snoring and sleep apnea. Sleeping flat on your back protects the spine, relieves hip and knee pain.

I'm just wondering about my follow-up appointment. I came to your clinic for a check-up last week, and the doctor mentioned I should come again after 3 weeks. So, I'm curious if that follow-up visit is free, or will there be a charge for it?

I'm really worried because after giving Dolo 650, the fever comes back within just 3 hours and it's reaching 40.2C. Can we actually give another dose that soon, especially since it's dengue? It seems to lower to 102F but then spikes right back up. What should we do?

I'm looking to get some medical tests done and I'm really concerned about privacy. I've heard about Drsafehands and was wondering if their services are reliable. I'm not too confident about the confidentiality at Lalpathlabs. Can you share your thoughts on this?

As a healthcare provider, I understand your concerns about confidentiality. DrSafeHands is generally known for its reliable services, especially when it comes to privacy and discretion with test results. However, it's always a good idea to check customer reviews or speak to their support to ensure they align with your expectations for privacy.
