I'm feeling a bit uneasy today and I can't seem to take a full breath. My nose and throat are really dry, especially my nose. Earlier, I felt feverish but when I checked, my temperature was only 97.6. I'm having this punching pain in my chest and back too. What could be going on?

I've been feeling kind of weak lately and I'm wondering if it's because I'm vegetarian. Is it okay if I start taking vitamin B tablets? Do they actually help?

As a vegetarian, taking Vitamin B supplements can be beneficial, especially Vitamin B12, which is found primarily in animal products; Vitamin B complex tablets can help alleviate weakness, fatigue, and neurological symptoms

I've been taking mefenamic acid and co-amoxicillin for my tonsillitis, and it's been four days. The pain and swelling in my tonsils have gone down a lot. I'm wondering if it's okay to stop the mefenamic acid now and just continue with the co-amoxicillin?

Antibiotics typically eliminate the infection in about 10 days. Symptoms usually improve within 2 or 3 days after starting antibiotics. so continue treatment as advised by your doctor

I've been feeling really off since last year when I had a viral fever around August. While the fever went away, my skin has been feeling unusually hot ever since, like all the time, even though I don't have an actual fever. It's making me feel weak and constantly tired, and it's been going on for over a year. I've seen several doctors but haven't found any relief. What could be causing this and what should I do next?

Usually that's uncommon,check your body temperature with mercury thermometer,if it's normal you can neglect it,stay hydrated and maintain healthy lifestyle.
