I'm feeling like my neck and head are really hot, but I don't have a fever. Everything else seems normal, but this has been happening for about a week now. A little while back, I had dengue fever, but that got better around three weeks ago. Could this be related, or should I be worried about something else?

It sounds like you may be experiencing post-dengue symptoms. The sensation of heat in the neck and head without fever could be due to residual effects of the dengue fever. I recommend taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 6 hours as needed for any discomfort. Additionally, ensure you are staying well-hydrated and getting plenty of rest. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm feeling really weak ever since I had typhoid, and I was wondering if it's okay to take Dexorange and Betonin together to help with that. Can you let me know if this combination is safe or if there are any side effects I should be worried about?

To overcome weakness after typhoid, focus on nutrient-rich foods, hydration, and rest, and consider supplements like Dexorange (iron and vitamins) and Betonin (B-complex vitamins) under medical guidance, but take them separately, as combining may lead to excessive vitamin intake.

I'm feeling pain under my breast and kind of in the lower chest area since this morning. It really hurts when I touch it and even more when I try to take a deep breath. I'm worried about what it could be, but with the current situation, I'm scared to go to the hospital for an X-ray or anything like that. I had the same issue last year, and it got better after taking calcium supplements. Can you suggest what I should do now?

Ecg and cardiac markers are advised to the patient.
