I'm really concerned about why she's been having a fever every morning. She did have a SGPT test, and there was some infection found, but after a full month of treatment, she got better. Now the fever is back, and we did all the checkups, but the doctor still can't pinpoint the issue. Could it be something we missed? What should we do next?

View allI've got a 100 fever and took a Pacimol 650 tablet about four hours ago, but I'm starting to feel feverish again. Is it okay to take another tablet now? How long do I need to wait between taking two tablets?
Concerning test results can be worrisome. _Possible reasons for high CRP:_ 1. _Inflammation_: High CRP levels indicate inflammation in the body. 2. _Infection_: Bacterial or viral infections can cause elevated CRP. 3. _Autoimmune disorders_: Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus can lead to high CRP. 4. _Vitamin D deficiency_: Severe vitamin D deficiency, like your husband's, can contribute to inflammation. _Red skin and pain:_ 1. _Inflammatory response_: The red skin and pain in the wrist could be an inflammatory response, possibly related to the high CRP. _Prescribed medications and supplements:_ 1. _Calcirol (Vitamin D)_: Will help address the severe vitamin D deficiency, which may contribute to reducing inflammation. 2. _COQ10_: This antioxidant may help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation. 3. _Shellcal HD 12 (Calcium supplement)_: Will support bone health, but its direct impact on CRP levels is unclear. _Additional recommendations:_ 1. _Monitor CRP levels_: Regularly check CRP levels to assess the effectiveness of treatment. 2. _Address underlying causes_: Identify and address underlying causes of inflammation, such as infections or autoimmune disorders. 3. _Maintain a healthy lifestyle_: Encourage your husband to maintain a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and manage stress.

I'm really curious about the term "Forte" that's used in so many medicine brand names. Like, I've noticed meds called Benfomet Forte, Nexito Forte, and even Becozyme C Forte. They all seem to end with Forte, and I think it might mean something like "Plus" or maybe indicate a combination of ingredients. Am I on the right track here, or does it mean something else? Just trying to understand it better.
"Forte" is a Latin word meaning "strong" or "potent," but in the context of medication names, it typically indicates a stronger or higher-dose version of a medication, often a combination product, so your understanding of "Forte" being similar to "Plus" is generally correct.
