I was wondering about the right dosage for albendazole 400 mg when it comes to deworming. Should I be taking it once a day or twice a day? And is albendazole effective on its own, or should it be combined with something else? I'm just trying to figure out the best way to go about this.

For deworming, a single dose of 400 mg Albendazole (1 tablet) is typically taken as a single dose, once a day (OD). In most cases, Albendazole alone is effective for treating common intestinal worms, but the dosage may vary depending on the type of infection. It's always best to consult your doctor for personalized advice.

I've just gotten over typhoid and I'm out of the hospital now, but I'm still feeling super weak, especially from my chest down to my stomach. It's a really noticeable kind of weakness. Can you help me understand why this might be happening?
It's common to feel weakness after recovering from typhoid, especially in the chest and stomach area, as your body is still healing. The infection and treatment can take a toll on your energy levels, and it may take some time for your strength to fully return. Rest, proper nutrition, and hydration will help support your recovery.

I recently got my Covishield shot and was told to take paracetamol afterward. I've got Sinarest at home, which I noticed contains paracetamol along with some other stuff. Do you think it's alright if I just take the Sinarest instead?
Sinarest contains paracetamol along with other ingredients such as phenylephrine and chlorpheniramine. It is safe to take Sinarest for relief of symptoms such as fever and body aches after your Covishield jab.
