How many cod liver oil capsules should I take daily in mg? Is there any risk of overdosing on them? Each capsule I have is 300mg, and I'm 19 years old. How many should I be taking every day?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
take only 1 capsule per day never more than 2, high doses can sometimes lead to an increased risk of bleeding, especially if you are taking blood-thinning medications.

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 thinking of taking two Zincovit tablets a day, is that okay? Also, when would be the best time to take them? Would appreciate any advice on this.
Feeling and seeing your pulse in your stomach can be unsettling. _Possible Causes_ 1. _Normal variation_: As you mentioned, it's normal to feel a slight pulse in the abdominal area. 2. _Increased abdominal muscle tone_: If you've recently started exercising or have increased your physical activity, your abdominal muscles may be more prominent, making the pulse more visible. 3. _Thin body fat percentage_: If you have a low body fat percentage, your abdominal organs, including the aorta, may be more visible. 4. _Aortic pulse_: The aorta, the main artery that carries blood from the heart, runs through the abdominal cavity. A strong aortic pulse can be visible in some individuals. _No Need for Concern_ Unless you're experiencing other symptoms like: - Abdominal pain or tenderness - Shortness of breath - Dizziness or lightheadedness - Rapid or irregular heartbeat

Can viral fever come back even if it's the same season? I had viral fever about a month ago but now my throat feels like it might be infected again. I did a five-day antibiotic course the last time I got sick. Is it possible that I could have viral fever again, and what should I do now?
yes take paracetamol and cetrizine tablet
