I'm a bit worried because I've been coughing every 5 minutes for almost 3 days now, and it's a dry cough. I've tried taking honey, Benadryl, Althromycin, and Novaclox 500, but nothing seems to help. Any idea what might be going on or what else I could try?

Try steam inhalation five times daily. It should give you relief for your cough and continue the course for 2 more days

View allI'm really puzzled about my C-reactive protein levels. My latest test showed it at 7.5 mgL, and the lab says the normal range is up to 8 mgL. Converted, it's 0.75 mgdL. I've been doing regular check-ups, but some of the doctors on Practo are suggesting that my CRP level is high, and even recommending antibiotics. I'm not sure if there's something wrong with my results or if the lab has a different standard. Why would doctors say my CRP is high? Is there a mistake?

I've got a question about tetanus. I got the vaccine a couple of months back, but now I've got this small cut on my finger, and some dirt got in it. There's a bit of blood. Do I need to get another tetanus shot, or am I covered? I'm just a bit worried about it.
If you have had a tetanus vaccine within the last 5 years, you should not need another dose for a minor wound like a small cut on your finger. However, it is important to clean the wound thoroughly with soap and water, apply an antiseptic, and monitor for any signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, or drainage.

I'm feeling quite uneasy tonight. It's like I've got chills and I'm shivering. It feels like a fever, but I don't actually have one. There's also some irritation in my throat and I just feel really weak overall. What could be going on and what should I do?
-It sounds like you're experiencing early symptoms of a viral infection or flu-like illness. Keep yourself warm, drink plenty of fluids (warm water or herbal teas), and rest well. If your throat irritation worsens, try saltwater gargles or lozenges. Monit
