I'm experiencing these persistent hiccups that started yesterday and just won't go away. I've been drinking plenty of water and even tried some home remedies, but they only seem to work for a bit before the hiccups come back. Can you help figure out what's causing this and suggest what I should do next?

So, my wife and I just had rice for dinner, and I realized there was a parad tikdi in it by accident. Should we be worried about any harmful effects from that?

I'm feeling pretty rough since last night with this body ache. Now it's morning, and I'm dealing with the body ache, plus a headache and a slight fever. What medicine can I take to help? I want to mention that I'm allergic to floxacin.

-You can take paracetamol (500 mg) to reduce the fever, headache, and body acheone tablet every 68 hours as needed. Stay hydrated and rest. Since you're allergic to floxacin, avoid antibiotics without a doctor's consultation.

I was diagnosed with COVID about 16 days ago and spent 3 days in the hospital. They sent me home once my CRP level was below 2. Now, 10 days later, my CRP is at 4.4. I'm taking Medrol 16 mg and Ecosprin 150 mg, but its gone up. Should I be concerned about this increase?
