View allI've been taking Practin 4mg and now I feel like I'm sleeping all day. Is this going to make me weak or damage my health?
Taking Practic (4mg) might make you feel sleepy and cause you to sleep for extended periods, but short-term use is unlikely to cause significant weakness or health issues. However, prolonged use or disrupted sleep patterns can lead to fatigue, so its important to manage how and when you use it

I'm feeling this weird internal fever for the past four days, even though my thermometer says I'm at a normal 98.6. I just don't feel right on the inside, you know? Im not experiencing body aches or anything like shortness of breath, but I'm definitely not feeling as active as usual. There's no cough, but there's a slight discomfort in my chest. Do you think this could be related to COVID-19 or maybe it's just anxiety? Im really worried because they sealed our society after someone tested positive for coronavirus. Any advice or insights would be appreciated.
its better to check for covid because history of covid is there recently

I've been diagnosed with typhoid just a few days ago and my Widal test showed s typhi H at 1:320. I was put on ciprofloxacin and tradamol-paracetamol, and the fever's gone, but now I'm struggling with vomiting since this morning. The doctor gave me metoclopramide vominorm tablets, which helped a bit, but the vomiting kicked back in when I drank some water. Any suggestions on what I can do next? I got my blood tested today, and the result showed Widal s typhi H at 1:40. I'm in Africa, and the medical facilities here aren't great, so any advice would be helpful.
Hydration and small, frequent sips of water or oral rehydration solution (ORS) are crucial to prevent dehydration. Continue taking metoclopramide as prescribed for nausea and vomiting, but follow up with your doctor if vomiting persists. If the vomiting continues and worsens, or if you notice any serious symptoms, you may need additional medical intervention
