I'm getting a bit worried because my body temperature tends to climb up to 99-100 degrees F in the evenings, and this has been happening for a few weeks now. Alongside this, I feel some tiredness in my limbs. I did some blood tests for CBC, Dengue, and Typhoid, but everything came back normal. What's making me anxious is that I've noticed my immunity seems to be lower lately since I'm catching the flu and other infections more frequently in the last few months. Any insights on what might be going on with me?

Since your blood tests for CBC, Dengue, and Typhoid came back normal, it's important to consider other possibilities. Your symptoms could be indicative of a chronic infection or an underlying inflammatory condition. Given your recurrent infections and fatigue, I would recommend considering a consultation with a healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try taking over-the-counter multivitamins to support your immune system. Additionally, you can take a daily dose of Vitamin C (1000mg) and Zinc (25-50mg) to help boost your immunity. Adequate rest, hydration, and a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables can also help support your immune system.

I was wondering about the right dosage for albendazole 400 mg when it comes to deworming. Should I be taking it once a day or twice a day? And is albendazole effective on its own, or should it be combined with something else? I'm just trying to figure out the best way to go about this.

For deworming, a single dose of 400 mg Albendazole (1 tablet) is typically taken as a single dose, once a day (OD). In most cases, Albendazole alone is effective for treating common intestinal worms, but the dosage may vary depending on the type of infection. It's always best to consult your doctor for personalized advice.

I'm trying to find Zevit capsules that my doctor recommended, but they're nowhere to be found online or in local pharmacies. Do you have any idea what I could use as a substitute for this medicine?

Zevit capsules are a multivitamin supplement; if unavailable, you can consider substitutes like Becosules, Supradyn, or Centrum, which contain similar vitamin and mineral compositions;
