I'm just wondering, how often should I take D-Cold Total in a day? I'm feeling a bit under the weather and not sure what's safe. Could you guide me on this?

My daughter is 22 and she's got a really high fever. It seems to go down a bit with Calpol 650, but her heart rate gets really fast. Her heartbeat is a lot quicker, and it's worrying me. What should I do?

It sounds like your daughter may be experiencing tachycardia (fast heart rate) as a result of the fever. In this case, you can give her Ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg to help reduce the fever and also help with any inflammation that may be causing the fast heart rate. Make sure to keep her well hydrated and monitor her temperature and heart rate closely. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention immediately.

I've been experiencing some discomfort with a slight pain in my left rib area, and lately, I've started feeling cold and have a light cough with some mucus. I think the rib pain might be caused by my posture since I've been spending a lot of time working on my laptop. Could you offer some advice on what steps I should take to feel better?

Ecg and chest x-ray pa view is advised to the patient.
