I've got a sore throat that I'm pretty sure is an infection, and my tonsils are kind of swollen too. I've been coughing a bit, but there's no fever. Should I be worried about this, or is there something I should be doing to feel better?

Consider consulting a primary care physician or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist for a proper evaluation, as your symptoms suggest a possible viral or bacterial throat infection, and they may prescribe antibiotics if necessary, or recommend symptom-relieving measures such as gargling with salt water, using a humidifier, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen.

Question

I'm really worried because I've been having a high fever and body aches for the past two days. I took Crocin and it seemed to help a bit, but this morning the fever came back. What should I do now? Should I be concerned that the fever returned so quickly?

Question

Hey, I was wondering if you could help me out. I'm searching for an alternative to Becosules Z, which has a mix of B complex vitamins and zinc. Do you have any suggestions for a good substitute? I'm really curious about my options and could use some guidance.

Question

I'm dealing with both dengue and typhoid right now, and I've noticed that I have to pee all the time. Is that normal? I had some really high fevers with shivering and chills, but they're a bit better now. It's weird because when I go to the bathroom, it doesn't hurt at all. Could this mean I might have a urinary tract infection, or is there a chance I could be pregnant?
