I was recently told I have a low vitamin B12 level, something like 179 pgml, and my cholesterol is kind of borderline too. Lately, I've been feeling really tired, can't focus, and sometimes I get confused or even have trouble keeping my balance. Do you think I should start taking B12 supplements? If so, could you recommend a good one? I'm kind of worried about these symptoms.

View allI'm really worried because I've been taking paracetamol every 5 hours like they told me, but it's the third day now and I still don't see any improvement in my dengue fever symptoms. Could you suggest anything else I might try to get this under control?
It takes some time for the fever to come down.Take paracetamol as prescribed and drink 3-4 litres of water everyday. Keep checking your platelet count regularly and if there is drastic fall in the count then immediately contact your doctor again for further advise

I'm dealing with typhoid right now and was wondering if it's okay to masturbate. Is it harmless or should I avoid it while I'm sick?
It's generally safe to masturbate during typhoid if you're feeling well enough and it doesn't cause discomfort. However, typhoid can cause fatigue and weakness, so prioritize rest and hydration to aid recovery. If unsure, consult your doctor for personalized advice.
