I'm feeling pretty worried because I've been experiencing weakness, a mild fever, pain just below my ribs, loss of appetite, and dizziness. When I went to the doctor, they said I have typhoid and that the pain below my ribs is due to swelling in my spleen. They did a Widal test and a blood test. Lately, I've also started having pain in my left shoulder. I'm not sure if the medicine the doctor prescribed is meant to treat both the typhoid and the spleen issue. Should I consider consulting another doctor about this? The prescription says I should take Tab Pyroflox, Olgerd D, Dolo 650, and SunUp S.

Any advice?

- Given his high blood pressure, diabetes, and fever, it's important to monitor his sugar levels closely, as fever can raise blood sugar. Since Crocin hasn't helped and he's feeling weak, I would recommend consulting his doctor immediately for a more appr

I'm a bit confused because my doctor prescribed me Nurokind 1500 mg tablets, but the pharmacy gave me Nurokind OD tablets instead. Are these the same thing? And how exactly should I be taking these Nurokind OD tablets? Should I just swallow them?

Nurokind 1500 mg and Nurokind OD are similar, containing Methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12), but with different formulations; Nurokind OD is designed for once-daily dosing, typically with a higher strength (e.g., 2500-3000 mcg), and should be swallowed whole with water, once daily, at the same time.
