Medication Options:
- Cheston Cold Total: Contains paracetamol, diphenhydramine, phenylephrine, and caffeine. Suitable for cold symptoms like congestion and runny nose.
- Paracip 650: Contains only paracetamol, effective for reducing fever and mild pain.
-
Recommendation:
- If you have only a mild fever without cold symptoms, Paracip 650 is sufficient.
- If experiencing cold symptoms (e.g., congestion, sneezing), consider Cheston Cold Total.
-
Considerations:
- Avoid Cheston Cold Total if sensitive to caffeine or antihistamines, or if you have high blood pressure or glaucoma, without consulting a doctor.
- If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical advice.

View allI'm really concerned about my brother who was diagnosed with Dengue fever yesterday. His platelet count was at 110,000 the day before yesterday, but today it's dropped to 69,000. Even though he seems to be feeling better, I'm worried because the platelet count is declining. The doctor has advised us to keep him at home and rest with fluids like coconut water, but should we be thinking about admitting him to the hospital instead? I'm not sure if we should stick with what our current doctor says or maybe seek a second opinion. What do you think?
Platelet count dropping to 69K in Dengue fever is a cause of concern, especially if it continues to decrease. However, as long as the patient is feeling better than yesterday, it may not be an immediate emergency. It is important to monitor the platelet count closely and watch for any signs of bleeding or other complications. The doctor may have recommended medications like Paracetamol for fever and pain, as well as fluids like coconut water to stay hydrated. Additionally, it is important to get plenty of rest. One medication that can help in increasing platelet count is Carica Papaya leaf extract.

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been having vomiting, body pain, and loose motion since yesterday, and he's so weak that he can't even go to the hospital. I'm really concerned and not sure what's causing these symptoms or what steps I should take to help him. Could you please give me some advice on what might be going on and what I should do next?
That looks like Acute Gastroenteritis,without further delay visit physician for appropriate management,else it leads to dehydration and renal problems
