I'm really concerned about this penicillin injection I got near my lower hip yesterday for a weakly reactive VDRL. It still hurts quite a bit a day later, even after trying both ice and hot packs. I've also been gently rubbing the area, but the pain persists. Is this normal, and how long might it take to feel better? Could there be a risk of infection or something?

Injection site reactions are usually mild and resolve in 12 days. However, if the redness spreads or your pain worsens after 24 hours,consult general physician

I've been dealing with a sore throat and a mild cold for a couple of days now and thought I should take Cheston Cold Total, which seemed to help a bit. But it's been over two days, and I'm still not feeling 100%. Is there anything else I should consider taking or doing to feel better? Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm feeling like my neck and head are really hot, but I don't have a fever. Everything else seems normal, but this has been happening for about a week now. A little while back, I had dengue fever, but that got better around three weeks ago. Could this be related, or should I be worried about something else?

It sounds like you may be experiencing post-dengue symptoms. The sensation of heat in the neck and head without fever could be due to residual effects of the dengue fever. I recommend taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 6 hours as needed for any discomfort. Additionally, ensure you are staying well-hydrated and getting plenty of rest. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I've been dealing with a cold and fever lately, so I took Nobel Plus and Rabekind DSR for the gas. After having some food, I took Clamcheck 625, but now I'm feeling really weak and my leg fingers are starting to go sideways. Could this be a side effect of the medication, or is something else going on? What should I do?

Probable diagnosis is upper respiratory tract infection.Patient is advised tab augmentin 625mg orally,thrice dailly for 5 days,tab levocetrizine 10 mg for 5 days and syrup salbutoml 10 ml thrice dailly for 5 days.
