How much unexplained weight loss is bad?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Weight loss of five percent of body weight over a period of 6 - 12 months in the absence of trying to loose weight is considered an unexplained weight loss which is not good and needs a doctor's evaluation.

I'm trying to understand how I should take albendazole for deworming as an adult. Do I just need a single dose, or is it better to take two doses? And if it's two doses, how many days apart should I take them?
To take albendazole for deworming in adults, you typically only need a single dose. The usual recommended dosage for albendazole in adults is 400mg as a single dose. It is important to take the medication at night, preferably with food, to increase its absorption and effectiveness. Remember to follow your healthcare provider's instructions and do not exceed the recommended dosage. If you have any specific health conditions or concerns, please consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

I'm feeling really worried because I've got a fever of 101 and there's a rash too. Could these symptoms mean it's a viral fever? If it is, how is the treatment different from other types of fever? Ive got some medicine names but could you tell me what I should be taking? If you can, Id appreciate it if you explain in Hindi since I might not get all the medical terms.
check cbc and platelets and take iv fluids if necessary based on symptoms
