View allI've been feeling like my body has a heat problem recently and I'm not sure what to do about it. Can someone give me some advice or suggestions on how to manage this?
My body has heat problem. To reduce body heat, you can try taking Tab. Paracetamol 500mg twice a day after meals. Also, make sure to drink plenty of water, wear loose and breathable clothing, and avoid spicy and oily foods. Additionally, you can try applying a cool compress to your forehead and neck to help lower your body temperature.

I'm dealing with a really annoying dry cough and a blocked nose that's making it impossible to sleep at night. I went to see a doctor, and they gave me some medicines like Doxin to take twice a day, along with some other tablets, but it feels like things are only getting worse. I'm not sure if the meds are supposed to work this way or if I should be worried. Could something else be going on?
augmentin 625mg for 5 days and tab tusq for 3 days
