I'm dealing with fever, loose motion, and vomiting since this morning, and I'm feeling so weak I cant even make it downstairs to see a doctor. What could be causing this? Should I be worried and what can I do at home to feel better?

I recommend taking acetaminophen 500mg for fever, loperamide 2mg for loose motions, and ondansetron 4mg for vomiting. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention.

I'm really concerned about my dad. He's been admitted to the hospital with dengue and typhoid, and his platelet count has dropped to 65,000. They're giving him sodium chloride fluids, ciprofloxacin injections, and Caripill three times a day. I'm just wondering, does this sound like the right treatment for his condition? Is there anything else that should be done?

-I'm sorry to hear about your dad's condition. The treatment seems to include standard care for dengue and typhoid, with fluids and antibiotics like ciprofloxacin. However, platelet count should be monitored closely, and other treatments may be necessary

I'm trying to figure out what the normal body temperature is. At what point should I start worrying that it's actually a fever? Also, when is it appropriate to consider taking paracetamol? I'm feeling a bit confused about it.

if it crosses 100 use paracetmol

Ive been dealing with a cough and cold for a few days and recently had a fever that went up to around 100.5F. It only lasted for a bit and went down after taking pcm. My doctor suggested a blood test and it turns out my ESR is at 40, though my hemoglobin and platelet count are normal. I'm confused and a bit worried about why my ESR is high. The doctor told me to take azithromycin for 5 days. Is there something serious going on with this high ESR?

It's indicates infection... Continue with antibiotic course
