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. However, by 6, I still had body pain and fever, so I took Meftal Forte. Someone mentioned to me that taking Meftal Forte was not a good idea. Fortunately, most of my symptoms are gone now, just a slight ache remains. Could you please let me know if it was okay to take Meftal Forte in this situation? I'm feeling a bit worried about it.

Taking Meftal Forte (a combination of mefenamic acid and paracetamol) after Dolo (paracetamol) is generally not recommended due to the increased risk of adverse effects, such as stomach ulcers and bleeding; however, since you've already taken it and your symptoms have resolved

View allI've been feeling a bit off and noticed my temperature is around 98.2F. I'm kind of worried if that's considered a fever, especially since it's summer. Is having a temperature between 97 and 99F something I should be concerned about right now?
No its not considered as fever

I'm really worried about my wife's fever. She initially had a fever, and the doctor suggested some tests. The report came back showing malaria and microfilaria were negative, but the typhoid rapid test was positive. The doctor gave her some medicine, and after 20 days, he prescribed Sepamax 500 Tablet, which she's been taking twice a day. But it's been two months now, and she's still dealing with a fever of around 100 degrees every day. We went back to the doctor and he ordered more tests which again showed negative for IgM and IgG antibodies, but the fever hasn't gone away. I'm really concerned about why the fever persists. Could there be something else going on, and are there any additional tests we should consider? What type of fever could this be?

I'm wondering if I should start taking Tayo 60K again. I took it back in July and August 2017, one tablet a week. Lately, I've been feeling really weak and tired and find myself getting sleepy during the day. Do you think it's okay for me to take Tayo 60K again now?
It's not recommended to take Tayo 60K (Vitamin D3 supplement) again without consulting a doctor, as excessive Vitamin D intake can lead to toxicity, causing symptoms like weakness, fatigue, and drowsiness, which you're already experiencing; get your Vitamin D levels checked
