Question

I'm really concerned about whether it's safe to use Betadine 10 solution, the kind that's labeled for wound cleaning, as a gargle. The bottle specifically says it's for external use only, and I don't want to do anything harmful. Could you let me know if it's okay to use this way or if I should avoid it?

No, Betadine 10% solution, which is typically labeled for external use only, should not be used for gargling or any internal use

Question

I'm really struggling with typhoid fever, it's been 45 days, and I'm facing this issue whenever I take a bath, I become so weak afterward that I can barely move without help. I'm confused about whether I should keep bathing or not, because it seems to make me feel even more ill. What should I do?

Question

I'm really concerned about my sister. She was just diagnosed with dengue yesterday, and it was her first day of having a fever. The doctor prescribed pcm and pan, but her fever hasn't come down at all. Her temperature is stuck at 104.6, and her platelet count is 2 lakhs. Should I be worried? Also, any suggestions on what she can eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner that might be suitable for her? She's 30 years old and currently experiencing full body pain, saying her body is burning. I'm really anxious since she hasn't eaten anything yet. Is there something I can do to help her feel better? And is it okay to give her solo again now since I gave her some at 9 pm last night?

Question

I'm really worried about my husband. He's got a fever, and he's also dealing with a cough and cold. Yesterday, we gave him Dolo 650 and chest on cold meds. Do you think that's enough, or should we be doing something else? Do we need to see a doctor in person, or is there anything else we could try at home? I'm just not sure if we're on the right track with this.
