Question 1

I've been feeling really cold and shivery, with no energy at all. I had a slight fever with dizziness starting around 2am yesterday. I'm also dealing with diarrhoea, and I tried taking Digene a couple of times, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. I'm worried and not sure what to do next. Could you please give me some advice on how to feel better?

Accepted Answer

digene is a antacid and it doesn't help much in loose stools.

Question 2

I'm experiencing this pain in one specific spot whenever I bend, stretch, or take a deep breath. It's been happening for the past few days, and I'm not sure why it's happening since I have no other symptoms. Could you please give me some advice on what might be causing this and what steps I should take?

Question 3

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?

Accepted Answer

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

I'm dealing with a sore throat and I'm wondering if it would be better to use Betadine Gargle or if just a salt water gargle is enough?

Both Betadine gargle and salt water gargles can help with a sore throat
