I'm curious about the dosage for Ascoril Plus Expectorant Syrup. How much should I be taking, and for how many days is it safe to use this syrup? Could you provide some guidance on this?

I've been dealing with a mild fever, body aches, and loose motions for the last couple of days. It's not constant, but it does keep coming back. I took a couple of doses of Nicip, which helped for a while, but today the loose motions and fever are back, and I just feel really low on energy. What could be causing this recurring pattern, and should I be concerned about anything specific?

Could be a viral infection causing gastroenteritis. To help with your symptoms, you can take a combination of medicines. You can take Tab. Paracetamol 500mg for fever and bodyache, along with Tab. Loperamide 2mg for loose motions. Make sure to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids and consider taking ORS (Oral Rehydration Solution) to replenish lost electrolytes. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention.

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been having this headache on the right side of his forehead for about 10 days now, and he's also dealing with a runny nose. Since he's diabetic and is taking Victoza 0.6 mg, could this be related? What could be causing these symptoms, and should we be concerned?

I'm a bit confused because I was diagnosed with typhoid through a blood test, but I haven't really felt sick or had any symptoms like a fever. The only thing I've noticed is some weight loss, which is what led me to get tested in the first place and they found typhoid. I'm wondering if it's okay to drink milk while I'm dealing with this? Do you have any advice on what kind of diet I should follow? I've already started taking the typhoid medication.

During typhoid, it is important to follow a specific diet to aid in your recovery. You can drink milk during typhoid, but it is recommended to consume pasteurized milk to avoid any risk of contamination. Additionally, it is advisable to avoid raw fruits and vegetables, as well as spicy and oily foods. As for your diet during typhoid, you should focus on easily digestible foods such as boiled or steamed vegetables, soups, broths, porridge, and yogurt. It is essential to stay hydrated, so make sure to drink plenty of water and clear fluids. Since you have started taking typhoid medicines, it is crucial to complete the full course as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Some common antibiotics used to treat typhoid include Ciprofloxacin, Azithromycin, and Ceftriaxone. Make sure to take the medication as directed and finish the entire course even if you start feeling better. Remember to get plenty of rest and avoid strenuous activities during your recovery period. If you experience any new or worsening symptoms, contact your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
