Question

I'm a bit concerned about something that happened yesterday. I had a cold and decided to put some tiger balm on my nose to help with congestion because I've heard it's pretty strong. But later, I noticed a tiny bit might have gotten on my lips when I was drinking coffee. Since then, my throat's been kind of burning, and whenever I burp, that burning sensation is there too. Is this something I should be worried about? What would be the best way to treat it?

It sounds like the Tiger Balm might have irritated your throat or caused mild acid reflux. It's not usually dangerous, but to ease the discomfort, you can try drinking warm water or herbal tea, avoid spicy foods, and take an antacid if needed. If the burning persists, consult a doctor to rule out any underlying issues.

I'm really concerned because I've heard conflicting advice about what foods are okay for someone with dengue to eat. Is fish something that's safe to consume? If yes, what type of fish would be best? And if fish isn't recommended, what alternative foods should be included in their diet? I'm trying to make sure they're eating the right things to recover quickly.

I've been having a regular cough and it's really putting a lot of stress on my chest. My throat feels sore, and my nose just won't stop running. I already tried taking Cheston Cold but it hasn't helped at all. Can you suggest what might be causing this or if there's anything else I should try?
