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'm really curious about the term "Forte" that's used in so many medicine brand names. Like, I've noticed meds called Benfomet Forte, Nexito Forte, and even Becozyme C Forte. They all seem to end with Forte, and I think it might mean something like "Plus" or maybe indicate a combination of ingredients. Am I on the right track here, or does it mean something else? Just trying to understand it better.

"Forte" is a Latin word meaning "strong" or "potent," but in the context of medication names, it typically indicates a stronger or higher-dose version of a medication, often a combination product, so your understanding of "Forte" being similar to "Plus" is generally correct.

I'm really worried about the side effects of taking Paracetamol 500 mg, and I don't want to take it unless I really need to. Could you let me know at what temperature in Fahrenheit should I consider taking it? I'm trying to be cautious about it.

Paracetamol is a relatively safer antipyretic medication with little side effects. Maximum you can take is upto 4 tabs a day at 6 hour intervals after checking your body temperature if it's more than 100 degree f.

I'm wondering if I should start taking Tayo 60K again. I took it back in July and August 2017, one tablet a week. Lately, I've been feeling really weak and tired and find myself getting sleepy during the day. Do you think it's okay for me to take Tayo 60K again now?

It's not recommended to take Tayo 60K (Vitamin D3 supplement) again without consulting a doctor, as excessive Vitamin D intake can lead to toxicity, causing symptoms like weakness, fatigue, and drowsiness, which you're already experiencing; get your Vitamin D levels checked
