View allI've been taking Patanjali's ashwagandha tablets after lunch hoping they'd give me more energy during the day, but instead, I just get really sleepy. Do you know of any other ashwagandha brands that could actually help with boosting energy?
Consider alternative ashwagandha brands like Himalaya, Dabur, or NOW Foods, which may have different formulations or concentrations that might provide energizing effects without excessive sleepines

My husband has been in the hospital for the past two days with a fever of 101, a sore throat, and weakness. He even fainted because his blood pressure was low, and his pulse was only 58. His oxygen saturation levels have been fluctuating between 87 and 89, but with oxygen, its between 92 and 94. We've had several tests, and I'm really concerned about his interleukin IL-6 levels, which came back at 290. I've attached the report for reference. Could you explain what this value means and what side effects he might experience? What precautions should we be taking right now?

I'm wondering if it's okay for someone with typhoid, or someone who's just getting over it, to stay in an air-conditioned room. Is it safe or should it be avoided? Any advice would be appreciated.
Yes, it is safe for a typhoid patient, or someone recovering from typhoid, to sit in an air-conditioned room. It is important to maintain a comfortable temperature for the patient. Additionally, staying in a cool environment can help reduce fever and promote overall comfort during recovery.
