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?

Given the severity of your symptoms, including fever, body ache, weakness, inability to walk, and running nose, despite taking Paracetamol, it's essential to consult a doctor immediately to rule out underlying conditions

So, my friend's nail accidentally scratched me and now there's some blood. Should I be worried about an infection from this scratch?

If the scratch breaks the skin and draws blood, there is a risk of infection. It is important to clean the area thoroughly with soap and water. You can apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection. Keep the area covered with a bandage until it heals. If you notice any signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, warmth, or drainage of pus, you should seek medical attention.

Hey, I've been wondering if it's okay to start taking vitamin B12 tablets without checking in with a doctor first. Also, is there a specific time of day that's best for taking them?

I've just recovered from a viral fever, but during that time, my CRP levels shot up to 25. I took medicine for about six days and got retested; now it's down to 5.27. I read online that CRP levels above 3 could indicate a risk of heart disease. Should I be worried about my current level? Could it still be elevated because of the fever, or does it say something about my heart health? Is it usual for CRP to be slightly higher after a viral infection?

Raise in crp indicates recent infection no need to worry consume vitamin rich foods and stay hydrated that will work
