I'm really concerned about my father's health because for the past two or three days, he's been feeling 'komppan' in his entire body during the afternoons into the evenings. We're trying to understand what kind of issue this might be and which type of specialist we should see about it. We're based in Greater Noida NCR. Do you think we need to get a complete body health checkup done? Any advice would be appreciated.

The symptoms you described, where your father experiences generalized body aching (komppan) in the afternoons and evenings, could be indicative of various conditions, such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, or even a viral infection; consider consulting a General Physician or an Orthopedician in Greater Noida (NCR) for an initial evaluation; a complete body health checkup may be beneficial in identifying underlying conditions, and your doctor may recommend diagnostic tests, such as blood work, X-rays, or an ECG, to determine the cause of the symptoms.

I'm dealing with typhoid fever for the last four days and recently got a CRP test that came back showing 24 mgL, but I know the normal range should be lower. Is it possible for CRP levels to rise with typhoid? Can you suggest ways to manage typhoid and help lower CRP levels?

Yes, CRP (C-reactive protein) levels can rise during infections like typhoid fever as part of the body's inflammatory response. It's important to follow your doctor's treatment plan, which usually includes antibiotics, hydration, and rest. Additionally, a healthy diet with anti-inflammatory foods and proper hydration can help manage CRP levels. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

I've been running a fever since last night and took sumo tablets twice, but it hasn't gone away. Should I start taking an antibiotic along with the sumo, or just stick to the sumo for now? I'm not sure what's best.

I'm a bit worried about the fumes from soldering since I do a bit of it at home, not regularly, just when needed. I don't really use any protection from the fumes, and I'm curious about how harmful they might be to my lungs. What kind of diseases could these fumes cause? Would a normal medical mask do anything to help with prevention? It's been hard finding much info on this, so I thought I'd ask here.
