I'm genuinely concerned about whether I should be taking Zenflox 200 as my doctor recommended. I had a fever and was feeling extremely cold due to the weather last night, but I'm feeling a bit better today. I noticed my urine is darker yellow though. The doctor said I have low BP and advised me to take ORS water along with Calpol for the fever. I looked up Zenflox 200 online and saw some potential side effects, which worries me. I don't have any stomach pain, mucus, cold, or coughjust the fever. What do you think?

Its good that your doctor assessed your condition. Zenflox-200 (Ofloxacin) is typically prescribed for bacterial infections, so if you dont have symptoms suggesting an infection (like stomach issues or mucus), you might want to discuss with your doctor whether its necessary. Meanwhile, stay hydrated with ORS and continue Calpol for fever.

I'm feeling a bit under the weather with a cold today, and I was planning to have a drink tomorrow. Do you think it's okay for me to have some whiskey? I'm really curious if it might affect my cold or overall health. I read some places say a little alcohol is fine when you have a cold, but others say it's not. I'm not sure what's best.

Alcohol consumption can have negative effects on your immune system and can potentially worsen your cold symptoms. It is generally not recommended to consume alcohol when you have a cold as it can dehydrate you and make it harder for your body to fight off the infection. It's best to avoid alcohol until you have fully recovered from your cold. Instead, focus on staying hydrated and getting plenty of rest to help your body heal faster.
