I'm currently taking Cheston Cold and noticing it's working, but I'm unsure about the right dosage. Should I be taking it two or three times a day?

I'm glad to hear that your cousin has completed the treatment for the STD and the infection has cleared up. However, the persistent penile discharge, although minimal, can be uncomfortable and concerning.
To address this issue, I recommend the following steps:
Diagnostic Tests
- Urine Test: A urine test can help identify any underlying bacterial infections, such as chlamydia or gonorrhea.
- Urethral Swab: A urethral swab can help detect any bacterial or fungal infections that may be causing the discharge.
STD Testing Centers in Pune
Here are some reputable testing centers in Pune where your cousin can get tested:
- National AIDS Research Institute (NARI): A government-funded institute that offers free STD testing, including HIV.
- Address: 73, G Block, MIDC, Bhosari, Pune - 411026
- Phone: 020-27121024
- Pune Municipal Corporation's (PMC) STD Clinic: Offers free STD testing and treatment.
- Address: Pune Municipal Corporation, Main Building, Shivajinagar, Pune - 411005
- Phone: 020-25501000
- Private Labs: Your cousin can also visit private labs like Dr. Lal PathLabs, SRL Diagnostics, or Metropolis Healthcare.
- These labs usually offer a range of STD testing options, including bacterial and fungal infections.
Pre-Test Preparation
Before visiting any testing center, it's essential to:
- Abstain from urination: For at least 2-3 hours before the test to ensure accurate results.
- Avoid using antibiotics or antiseptics: For at least 24 hours before the test to prevent interference with test results.
Post-Test Care
After the test, your cousin should:
- Follow the doctor's advice: Based on the test results, the doctor may prescribe antibiotics or other treatments.
- Practice good hygiene: To prevent the spread of infection, your cousin should maintain good genital hygiene and use condoms during sexual intercourse.

I'm really concerned because I've heard conflicting advice about what foods are okay for someone with dengue to eat. Is fish something that's safe to consume? If yes, what type of fish would be best? And if fish isn't recommended, what alternative foods should be included in their diet? I'm trying to make sure they're eating the right things to recover quickly.
don't take, only take veg

I'm really worried about this situation. She's been having a fever for the last 3 months, and it only goes down when she takes Crocin. Otherwise, it just stays there. She's had a lot of tests done like blood tests, X-Ray, Ultrasound, and even checked her Hemoglobin levels, and everything seems normal. But there are still some symptoms pointing to an internal infection. Can you please help us figure out what's going on?
It sounds like shes been dealing with persistent fever for the past three months, and while her tests have come back normal, there could still be an underlying infection. Its important to consult with a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation, as they might need to look deeper into possible internal causes.
