Can I take paracetamol now if I took ayurvedic medicine a couple of hours ago? My fever's at 102, and I'm feeling pretty lousy. Is it okay to mix the two?

It's generally safe for a 30-year-old female to take paracetamol (650 mg) to reduce fever, even if she has taken ayurvedic medicine a few hours ago, as long as the ayurvedic medicine does not contain ingredients that interact adversely with paracetamol.

Key points to consider:

  1. Check the ingredients: Ensure none of the ayurvedic components interact with paracetamol.
  2. Dosage: Do not exceed 4 grams of paracetamol per day.
  3. Monitor symptoms: Seek medical advice if fever persists beyond 3 days or worsens.
  4. Hydration and rest: Stay hydrated and rest well.

If uncertain about the ayurvedic medicine or if there are liver issues, consult a healthcare professional before taking paracetamol. Seek medical attention if the fever is very high or accompanied by other concerning symptoms.

I've been dealing with a cold, cough, and fever about 10 to 15 days ago. Now, even though my body still feels hot, there's no fever when I use a thermometer. I'm also experiencing a bit of weakness. Any idea what these symptoms could mean? What medication could help prevent or cure this?

These symptoms could be related to a post-viral syndrome, where your body is still recovering from the previous cold, cough, and fever. The feeling of body heat without an actual fever could be due to residual inflammation or immune response. The slight weakness may also be a lingering effect of the previous illness. To help alleviate these symptoms, you can consider taking a medication like Paracetamol (brand name: Tylenol) for any discomfort or perceived feverishness. Additionally, you may benefit from over-the-counter cough syrups like Dextromethorphan (brand name: Robitussin) for any lingering cough. Make sure to get plenty of rest, stay hydrated, and eat nutritious foods to support your body's recovery.

I've been feeling really off since last year when I had a viral fever around August. While the fever went away, my skin has been feeling unusually hot ever since, like all the time, even though I don't have an actual fever. It's making me feel weak and constantly tired, and it's been going on for over a year. I've seen several doctors but haven't found any relief. What could be causing this and what should I do next?

Usually that's uncommon,check your body temperature with mercury thermometer,if it's normal you can neglect it,stay hydrated and maintain healthy lifestyle.

I'm dealing with fever, loose motion, and vomiting since this morning, and I'm feeling so weak I cant even make it downstairs to see a doctor. What could be causing this? Should I be worried and what can I do at home to feel better?

I recommend taking acetaminophen 500mg for fever, loperamide 2mg for loose motions, and ondansetron 4mg for vomiting. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention.
