I ate with my hands just about 3040 seconds after using a hand sanitizer and could still smell it on my hands. The sanitizer has 70% Isopropyl Alcohol, and I read somewhere that consuming it can be harmful. My hands were dry when I ate, but I'm a bit worried if there's any risk from the sanitizer residue. Is everything okay?

I'm recovering from typhoid and noticed my body temperature goes up to 99.1F. Is this still considered a fever, or is it within the normal range? Also, I'm wondering if it's safe for me to be in an air-conditioned room at work. Can I resume going to the office, or should I take more precautions?

Normal,nothing to worry ok.

I'm a bit concerned because my WBC count came back at 11.6 this time, and last month it was 9.4. I had a slight cough when they did my blood work. Could that be causing the increase? Should I be worried about this?

A WBC count of 11.6 is slightly elevated, but it may not be a cause for concern, especially if you were experiencing a cough at the time of the test. Infections or even mild illnesses like a cough can temporarily raise your WBC count. Its a good idea to follow up with your doctor if you're concerned.

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
