I'm really worried because I've been feeling pretty awful this week with a fever and body aches that are making it hard for me to even walk. I've been taking Paracetamol but it's not helping much, and now I've got a runny nose too. What could be going on and should I be doing something different to feel better?

I've been dealing with this viral fever, and my doctor recommended I take Zyrcold syrup. But now I've started having loose motions, and I'm worried that the syrup might be causing it. Could Zyrcold be the reason for this? Should I stop taking it or do something different?

Yes, in rare cases it can cause diarrhea but it will get cured soon.Drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration, which can occur with diarrhea. Drink water, oral rehydration solutions (ORS), clear soups, or electrolyte drinks.
