I was eating some leftover pizza and noticed tiny bugs crawling all over it after I had taken a bite. I read online that people say it's just extra protein, but since they were alive, I'm pretty nervous. Do you think Ill be okay?

If you are concerned about potential food contamination, it is always best to err on the side of caution. You may consider taking an over-the-counter antihistamine like Claritin (loratadine) to help with any potential allergic reactions. If you develop any symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or difficulty breathing, please seek medical attention immediately.

Question

I'm feeling really weak and tired, and I'm having leg pain after my viral fever. The fever's gone after taking a 5-day course of medication like Dolo 650, Azee 500, and Allegra M. But now, whenever I walk around 200 meters, my legs hurt and I feel exhausted. Why is this happening, and what should I do about it?

Question

Can I take both amoxycillin and fexofenadine hydrochloride at the same time for a throat infection? I'm a bit concerned about how these medications might interact.

Question

I've just recovered from a viral fever, but during that time, my CRP levels shot up to 25. I took medicine for about six days and got retested; now it's down to 5.27. I read online that CRP levels above 3 could indicate a risk of heart disease. Should I be worried about my current level? Could it still be elevated because of the fever, or does it say something about my heart health? Is it usual for CRP to be slightly higher after a viral infection?
