Question

I'm feeling a bit under the weather with a fever and I've been taking Calpol for it. I'm wondering if it's okay to drink ORS when you have a fever? Does it make any difference? Should I stick to normal water or is ORS a better option in this situation?

Question

I've got this sharp, stabbing pain on the left side of my chest, but it only happens when I sleep on my left side. If I sleep on my right, there's no pain. It just started last night. I've also got a mild flu going on but no fever, and my stomach seems okay even though I have these on and off digestion issues like irritable bowel. Should I be worried about this chest pain, or is it likely linked to the flu or something else?

Question

I came down with the flu and had a really runny nose, so I took fexet D, but now my nose feels completely blocked and there's some chest congestion going on.
