I'm curious about deworming for adults in the 40-50 age range. Should we be doing it even if everything seems fine, or is it unnecessary? Also, would taking albendazole be safe in such cases?

I'm really worried about my friend who's dealing with dengue fever. He's getting treatment right now, and I'm curious about how long it'll take for him to feel better. His platelet count is okay, but he's still running a high fever around 103-104. Can you shed some light on this?

I'm a bit worried about taking Augmentin 625 because I read somewhere that if you've had jaundice in the past, you should let your doctor know. I had jaundice around 15 years back, but I've just finished dealing with chicken pox two weeks ago and now I've got this boil. Do you think it's safe for me to go ahead with Augmentin?

yes you can take

Hey there, I've noticed a lot of people around me are starting to use the Ziverdo Kit, which includes zinc, ivermectin, and doxycycline, even before they get COVID. Is it a good idea to take these meds as a preventive measure? I'm a bit concerned about what the side effects might be if I take them without actually being sick. Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

ziverdo kit not used as preventive kit covid is due to viral infection
