How soon after recovering from dengue can I start drinking alcohol again? I've been feeling good for about a week now and my vitals are back to normal. Is it safe to have a drink, or should I wait a bit longer?

It is generally recommended to wait at least 2-3 weeks after recovering from dengue fever before consuming alcohol. This allows your body to fully recover and regain its strength. Remember to start with small amounts and listen to your body for any signs of discomfort.

I had gotten the Covishield vaccine and about 12 hours later, I started experiencing chills and fever. I took Dolo a few times at around 10:30 pm, 3 am, 7:45 am, and 1 pm.

My wife is feeling okay most of the time, but suddenly she's getting cold, has a head pain, and sneezes a lot. Im kind of worried and not sure what to do. She took a Recofast tablet and seemed to feel better for a while. Does this sound like a common issue, or should we be looking out for something more serious?

Persistent cough and throat infection can be frustrating. Considering you've already taken Azithromycin, Montair LC, and Omnacortil, it's possible that: - The infection might be viral, requiring antiviral medication or supportive care. - The antibiotic course might not have been completed or effective. - Underlying allergies or asthma might be exacerbating symptoms. Consult your doctor to reassess your condition and adjust treatment accordingly.
