I'm feeling a bit worried. So, I was having some trouble swallowing and the doctor prescribed me Aziwok 500 once a day and Calpol twice a day for 5 days. It's been 2 days, and my throat's feeling better, but now I'm running a fever of about 101. Should I be concerned or do anything specific about this?

I'm a bit worried because I've had a dry cough for about a week, and now the right side of my back is swollen. I went to the doctor, and she said the swelling is from the cough and it's nothing serious. The swelling has gone down, but I'm still feeling a little pain around my right rib area. Should I be concerned about this lingering pain? Could it be something more than just from the cough?
Patient is advised tab augmentin 625mg orally,thrice daily for 5 days,tab levocetrizine 10 mg bedtime ,orally for 5 days and syrup salbutamol 10ml thrice dailly for 5 days is advised to the patient.

I've just gone through my body check-up results, and they show that I have a vitamin D deficiency. The level is at 10.7, and my lymphocytes are a bit high at 42. I've been having occasional lower back pain and Im worried it might be connected to the vitamin issue. Do you think I should start taking a vitamin D supplement? And should I be concerned about the lymphocytes level?
For your vitamin D deficiency, I recommend taking a supplement such as "Drisdol" at a dosage of 1000-2000 IU per day. This will help increase your vitamin D levels and may alleviate your lower back pain. As for the high lymphocyte count, it is important to determine the underlying cause. I suggest further evaluation by a healthcare provider to investigate possible infections, autoimmune disorders, or other medical conditions that could be contributing to the elevated lymphocytes.
