I'm a bit concerned about something that happened yesterday. I had a cold and decided to put some tiger balm on my nose to help with congestion because I've heard it's pretty strong. But later, I noticed a tiny bit might have gotten on my lips when I was drinking coffee. Since then, my throat's been kind of burning, and whenever I burp, that burning sensation is there too. Is this something I should be worried about? What would be the best way to treat it?

It sounds like the Tiger Balm might have irritated your throat or caused mild acid reflux. It's not usually dangerous, but to ease the discomfort, you can try drinking warm water or herbal tea, avoid spicy foods, and take an antacid if needed. If the burning persists, consult a doctor to rule out any underlying issues.

View allI'm a bit concerned because for the past few days, I've been experiencing a mild fever only in the evenings, along with a heavy feeling in my head and some mild leg pain. I also start feeling cold from evening till morning, but it's weird because there aren't any chills. Could this be related to a change in the weather, or is it something else I should be worried about? Would love to get your thoughts on this.
Your symptoms of mild evening fever, headache, leg pain, and feeling cold without chills could be due to various reasons, including viral infections like influenza or dengue, seasonal flu, or climate change-related allergies, but it's essential to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation,

I ate with my hands just about 3040 seconds after using a hand sanitizer and could still smell it on my hands. The sanitizer has 70% Isopropyl Alcohol, and I read somewhere that consuming it can be harmful. My hands were dry when I ate, but I'm a bit worried if there's any risk from the sanitizer residue. Is everything okay?
too much consume it should be harmful

My mom's been running a high fever for the last couple of days. The doctor suggested she take doxcef cv, dolo 650, and meftal 500. She's been on these meds for a bit now, but her fever isnt dropping below 102. Can we give her meftal two hours after she takes dolo? Any advice would be appreciated.
It's generally safe to alternate Dolo 650 and Meftal 500 for fever management, but they should be spaced out by at least 4 hours, not 2 hours. Since her fever is persistent, it might be helpful to contact the doctor again for further evaluation. Keep her hydrated and monitor her temperature regularly.
