Question

I've been dealing with a mild fever, body aches, and loose motions for the last couple of days. It's not constant, but it does keep coming back. I took a couple of doses of Nicip, which helped for a while, but today the loose motions and fever are back, and I just feel really low on energy. What could be causing this recurring pattern, and should I be concerned about anything specific?

Could be a viral infection causing gastroenteritis. To help with your symptoms, you can take a combination of medicines. You can take Tab. Paracetamol 500mg for fever and bodyache, along with Tab. Loperamide 2mg for loose motions. Make sure to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids and consider taking ORS (Oral Rehydration Solution) to replenish lost electrolytes. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention.

Question

I'm really concerned about my wife. About three weeks ago, she got an injection in her left hip at an authorized hospital because she was having stomach pain. Just yesterday, she noticed a lump at the injection site. There's not a lot of pain, but she does feel a little bit when it's pressed. I'm worried about what could be causing this lump and if it's something we should be concerned about. Is there anything I should do?

Question

I've been diagnosed with typhoid just a few days ago and my Widal test showed s typhi H at 1:320. I was put on ciprofloxacin and tradamol-paracetamol, and the fever's gone, but now I'm struggling with vomiting since this morning. The doctor gave me metoclopramide vominorm tablets, which helped a bit, but the vomiting kicked back in when I drank some water. Any suggestions on what I can do next? I got my blood tested today, and the result showed Widal s typhi H at 1:40. I'm in Africa, and the medical facilities here aren't great, so any advice would be helpful.

Question
