I've been dealing with a running nose and fever for the last few days, and now I've got a sore throat and cough since last night. These seem like symptoms of viral fever, right? Can you recommend any homemade remedies? The weather here is terrible, so I can't get to a doctor.

I recommend taking over-the-counter medications such as acetaminophen for fever and sore throat. You can also try using honey and lemon for your sore throat. Additionally, steam inhalation can help with your runny nose and cough. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest.

Question

I'm kind of worried about my CRP levels. I just found out it's at 2.16, and I'm not sure if that's something I should be really concerned about. Could this be a major problem for me? Also, what steps can I take to bring my CRP levels back to normal? Is there a chance it could be harmful to my health?

Question

I'm a big fan of pork and eat it quite often. Recently, my biology teacher mentioned something about helminths and suggested that people who love pork should consider taking albendazole, although I'm not entirely sure if that's how you spell it. Should I be taking this too? If so, how many tablets should I take, and when should I be taking them?

Question

I'm feeling like my neck and head are really hot, but I don't have a fever. Everything else seems normal, but this has been happening for about a week now. A little while back, I had dengue fever, but that got better around three weeks ago. Could this be related, or should I be worried about something else?
