I'm really concerned about whether it's safe to use Betadine 10 solution, the kind that's labeled for wound cleaning, as a gargle. The bottle specifically says it's for external use only, and I don't want to do anything harmful. Could you let me know if it's okay to use this way or if I should avoid it?

No, Betadine 10% solution, which is typically labeled for external use only, should not be used for gargling or any internal use

View allI've been taking dolo 650 for the last couple of days because my fever isn't going below 100 degrees. Is it okay if I take two dolo 650 tablets at once, or should I be considering something else since it's been persistent for 2 days? I'm really just looking for some guidance on how to get better.
It's generally not recommended to take two Dolo 650 tablets at once, as it could lead to an overdose of paracetamol. If your fever persists, it's best to consult a doctor to determine the appropriate treatment or dosage for your situation. Make sure to stay hydrated and rest well!

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?

I'm really confused and worried about what's happening with me. Not too long ago, I had typhoid and after the 10-day treatment, the tests said I'm clear. But soon after getting back to my routine, I started driving for a long time, like 9 hours, and then a couple of days later, my hands and feet felt cold again, which was the initial symptom of my typhoid. Now, even though the typhoid seems to be gone, I'm experiencing this overwhelming weakness in my body and I can't seem to stand on my legs properly. What could be causing this?
The recurring coldness in hands and feet, along with weakness and inability to stand, could be due to post-typhoid complications, anemia, vitamin deficiencies, or neurological issues, so consult your doctor immediately for a thorough evaluation, including blood tests and physical examination, to determine the underlying cause and guide appropriate treatment.
