I'm dealing with a viral fever and I'm already on medication. I'm wondering if it's okay to drink milk or if I should avoid it for now. Is milk a good idea when I'm sick?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, you can drink milk during a fever; it provides nutrition and energy. However, if it upsets your stomach or increases mucus, opt for lighter alternatives like soups or warm water. Always stay hydrated and rest well.

View allI'm worried because I found some tiny holes in the packet of rice and noodles and I'm thinking it might be from a rat. If I cook the rice and noodles really well, is it still safe to eat them? I'm just unsure if cooking alone would make them okay, considering the rat aspect. Can you help me figure this out?

I'm looking at my Widal test results and I'm a bit anxious about what they mean. The report shows Salmonella typhi O at 120 and Salmonella typhi H also at 120, but Salmonella paratyphi Ha and Hb are both NIL. Could you help me understand if this indicates a typhoid infection?
Based on your Widal test report, the results for Salmonella typhi O and Salmonella typhi H are both 1:20, which indicates a possible typhoid infection. The presence of Salmonella typhi O and Salmonella typhi H antibodies at a titer of 1:20 suggests an active infection with Salmonella typhi, the bacteria responsible for causing typhoid fever. However, the absence of antibodies against Salmonella paratyphi H(a) and Salmonella paratyphi H(b) indicates no current infection with Paratyphoid fever. To treat typhoid fever, you can take antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin. It is important to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed by your healthcare provider to ensure the infection is fully treated. Additionally, make sure to stay well-hydrated and get plenty of rest to support your recovery.

A cat tried to bite me, and while I managed to pull my hand away, there was still a bit of contact with its teeth. There was hardly any pressure, so I didnt get a cut or even a scratch. I washed my hand and put spirit on it. Is that all I need to do, or is there anything else I should be concerned about?
