Question

I'm really worried because I've been having a high fever between 102 and 104. I've been taking Dolo 650 three times a day to bring it down, but the fever keeps coming back with a lot of shivering. I delivered about six weeks ago and had an episiotomy, and I'm still dealing with a lot of stitches pain. Is taking Dolo 650 six times in two days too much? I'm also having a lot of lower back pain, back pain, headache, and neck nerve pain. Can you help me understand what's going on?

Seems like you are experiencing postpartum fever and pain after episiotomy. The fever may be due to an infection related to the delivery. I recommend you to consult your doctor for a proper evaluation and treatment. In the meantime, you can continue taking Dolo 650 for fever, but do not exceed the recommended dosage. Additionally, you can take Ibuprofen 400mg every 6-8 hours for pain relief. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention promptly.

Question

I'm really confused about my pregnancy test results. I took a Prega News test and there was only one line, but I noticed that the HCG absorbent paper turned pink after about 3 minutes. My period is supposed to start on the 28th of this month. I even took the test yesterday and it came back negative. Does the pink color on the absorbent paper mean there's HCG hormone present?

Question

I'm a little worried because my last period was on June 16th and it hasn't started in July at all. It's been 23 days since my period was supposed to start, and I just took a pregnancy test today but it came back negative. Should I retest for pregnancy later on, or is there a chance something else could be going on with my health?

Question

I'm just a bit worried and need some advice. My wife is three months pregnant and I'm wondering if it's okay for her to eat dry seeds, grapes, and dry fruits regularly? She also eats biscuits daily. Is this diet safe for her, or should she be eating other specific foods to support her pregnancy? Please help me out here!
