I had dengue meningitis back in September-October 2016, and although I've been recovering well, I'm still dealing with some weakness and haven't quite regained my weight. Today, I drank a glass of juice from the market and ended up with loose motion an hour later. Should I be concerned about this, and what steps should I take?

Sir, my father has been having a fever on and off for the last 3 months. He's been taking antibiotics and Crocin regularly, but there's no improvement. Could there be a reason why he's not getting better, and should we be worried? What do you suggest we do next?

I've had a fever for the past three days, with my temperature fluctuating between 98.6 and 102. I get really cold in the evenings, probably because of the sweating, and I'm worried it's making the fever worse since I don't change my shirt soon enough. I don't have any body, joint, or muscle pain, but my nose is a bit runny and my throat hurts slightly. Could this be something serious, or is there anything specific I should do to get better quickly?

Your symptoms, including fever, sweating, chills, runny nose, and slight throat pain, suggest a possible viral upper respiratory tract infection, such as a common cold or flu; however, to rule out other causes like bacterial infections or pneumonia, consider consulting a doctor for a physical examination, and possibly, a rapid antigen test or chest X-ray.

So, my wife and I just had rice for dinner, and I realized there was a parad tikdi in it by accident. Should we be worried about any harmful effects from that?
