I'm really struggling with a bad cold right now, and my nose is completely blocked. I've been taking cepodem 200 for a throat infection, but I'm not sure what else I can use for the cold because cetrizine doesn't really agree with me. Could you suggest something that might help?

Cepodem 200 is an antibiotic, but antibiotics are not effective against viruses, which cause colds.you can use allegra [fexofenadine]as an alternative to citrizen If your symptoms persist for more than 710 days or worsen, you may want to consult your doctor again.

I've been experiencing hot air coming from my nose and mouth for the past couple of months, along with a general feeling of weakness and body pain. All my blood tests have come back normal. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do next?

While it's reassuring that your blood reports are normal, the symptoms you're experiencing should not be ignored. It is advisable to drink plenty of water and follow up with a doctor for further evaluation, especially regarding your thyroid, nervous system, and possible anxiety or stress factors.

I'm a bit worried after a street dog touched my nose and licked my hand this morning. It happened around 11, and I washed my hand about 10 minutes later. The dog didn't bite me, and there's no wound on my hand. Do you think I should get a vaccine for this, or is it okay to wait and see?

I'm a bit worried about my recent health situation. Over the last three days, I've noticed that I feel like my head is spinning whenever I'm trying to go to sleep. I checked my blood pressure at home using our Omron digital auto BP machine, and it seems to be consistently within the same range. On top of that, I'm already on medication for thyroid, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and Telday 40. Do you think these symptoms are related to my current medications or should I be concerned about something else?

Given your wife's symptoms of dizziness and head spinning, especially when sleeping, and considering her pre-existing conditions of thyroid, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and hypertension (with BP consistently in the same range), it's essential to consult her primary care physician or a specialist to adjust her medications, particularly Telday 40, and investigate potential causes such as orthostatic hypotension, hypoglycemia, or medication interactions.
