I'm dealing with a viral fever, and while paracetamol is helping a bit with the fever, it only reduces the temperature for a short time. I'm wondering if there are any antibiotics I can take that might help more effectively. Any advice would be appreciated!

Question

I'm experiencing a viral fever with a sore throat, feeling weak with body pains, and I've been a bit dizzy lately. This all started yesterday, and my temperature is currently at 99C. What can I do about it? Is this something to worry about?

Question

Can I take albendazole 400 mg for intestinal worms? What's the right dosage and how long should I be taking it? Are there any side effects I should watch out for with this medication?

Question

I'm looking at my blood report and I'm seeing a few things out of range, like my total leucocytes are at 3.83 which seems low, and my neutrophils are 34.9 and there's something going on with my lymphocytes at 56.7. Also, my basophils and monocytes' absolute counts are not within the normal range. I've also noticed that the mean corpuscular hemoglobin and the MCHC are a bit off. I had a fever not too long ago and still have mucus in my throat. I'm starting to worry because I read that these symptoms could be related to typhoid. Do you think it's possible that I have typhoid, or is there something else going on?
