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 a bit confused about how to take celine 500 mg tablets. Should I be taking them with water or can I chew them? And is it better to take them before or after a meal? Would really appreciate some advice on this!

Celine 500 mg tablet should be taken with a full glass of water, either with or without food. It is not a chewable or dispersible tablet.

I'm experiencing sudden breathlessness, body pain, and weakness for the last month. All my blood tests, chest CT scan, ECG, and echo came back normal. What could be causing these symptoms if all the tests are fine?

I've been feeling really unwell lately. I caught a fever from the cold weather, and to make matters worse, I ended up eating some ice cream. While I was asleep, my family turned on the cooler, and the room got way too cold. So now, I woke up with this nasty cold, a splitting headache, and my fever's just gotten worse since then. What should I do to get better?

don't take cool items
