I'm dealing with a fever that's been going on for two days now. The doctor mentioned it's viral, but I'm just wondering how long it'll usually take to get better. Would it be a few more days, or could it last longer?

-Viral fevers usually last 35 days, but rest and hydration can help you recover faster. If the fever persists beyond 5 days or worsens, follow up with your doctor. Take care!

Can I take Becosule and Evion capsules at the same time, or should I wait between taking each one? I'm a bit confused about whether it's okay to take them together or if I need to space them out. Any advice would be appreciated.

You can take Becosule and Evion together without significant concerns, but its always a good idea to follow the instructions of your healthcare provider

I'm experiencing colds and some mild pain on both sides of my ribs. It's weird because even though I feel cold, I'm sweating a lot; maybe it's because the weather's hot? Could you help me figure out what's going on with me?

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.
