I'm 25 and have just started working night shifts from 10 pm to 7 am. I'm a bit worried about how this could affect my health, like possibly leading to diabetes or heart problems. I'm trying to figure out the best time for me to exercise and sleep with this new schedule. For the past two days, I've been experiencing some stomach burning and headaches. Do you have any advice on how I can stay fit and healthy under these circumstances?

I'm feeling really worried because I've been experiencing something like an internal fever. My palms and feet are constantly burning, and I'm not sure what's going on. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

You may need investigations such as CBC to rule out infections. You may require antipyretics or antiinflammatory medication. In the mean time, avoid cold food and water, do not skip meals and opt for a softer diet before progressing to heavier foods and increase intake of vitamin C rich foods such as citric fruits. Drink plenty of fluids and take sufficient rest.

I'm dealing with a viral fever and I'm already on medication. I'm wondering if it's okay to drink milk or if I should avoid it for now. Is milk a good idea when I'm sick?

Yes, you can drink milk during a fever; it provides nutrition and energy. However, if it upsets your stomach or increases mucus, opt for lighter alternatives like soups or warm water. Always stay hydrated and rest well.
