I'm going through a rough patch right nowI have typhoid, and my monocytes count is showing up as zero. Should I be worried about this? Is there something serious going on? And if it is, what kind of medications should I be considering to address it? Also, I'm curious about what foods might help in boosting my monocytes count. Are there any specific tests I should get done? I'd really appreciate a quick replyI'm getting quite anxious about the whole situation.

Having a zero monocyte count can be a concerning finding, as monocytes are a type of white blood cell that plays a crucial role in fighting infections. In the context of typhoid fever, a zero monocyte count may indicate severe infection or bone marrow suppression. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm someone who usually takes Dolo 650 when I'm feeling feverish or have a headache. But I recently heard that it's banned in India. Is it harmful? What are the alternative medications I can take for this?

Dolo 650mg is not banned in India. You can consider taking Crocin 650 mg. It contains paracetamol which is effective for reducing fever and relieving headache. The usual dosage for adults is 1-2 tablets every 4-6 hours as needed, with a maximum of 8 tablets in 24 hours.

I'm really concerned about my COVID diagnosis and the medication my doctor prescribed. They gave me Fabiflu and told me to take 800 mg twice a day, but on the first day, I had to take 1800 mg twice. I'm a bit confused about how long I should wait between each dose. Can you help clarify this for me?

My mom and sister have been dealing with Covid19 and they were taking Dolo 650 for their high fever. But for the last couple of days, they haven't had a fever, just feeling weak and having a cold. Should they keep taking Dolo 650? If so, for how long should they continue with it?

-Since they no longer have a fever, it may not be necessary to continue with Dolo 650. However, if they still feel weak or have discomfort, they can take it as needed for symptom relief. It's best to stop once the symptoms improve and consult a doctor if
