View allMy daughter is 22 and she's got a really high fever. It seems to go down a bit with Calpol 650, but her heart rate gets really fast. Her heartbeat is a lot quicker, and it's worrying me. What should I do?
It sounds like your daughter may be experiencing tachycardia (fast heart rate) as a result of the fever. In this case, you can give her Ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg to help reduce the fever and also help with any inflammation that may be causing the fast heart rate. Make sure to keep her well hydrated and monitor her temperature and heart rate closely. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention immediately.

I've just gotten over typhoid and I'm out of the hospital now, but I'm still feeling super weak, especially from my chest down to my stomach. It's a really noticeable kind of weakness. Can you help me understand why this might be happening?
It's common to feel weakness after recovering from typhoid, especially in the chest and stomach area, as your body is still healing. The infection and treatment can take a toll on your energy levels, and it may take some time for your strength to fully return. Rest, proper nutrition, and hydration will help support your recovery.
