I'm really worried because I've been taking paracetamol every 5 hours like they told me, but it's the third day now and I still don't see any improvement in my dengue fever symptoms. Could you suggest anything else I might try to get this under control?

It takes some time for the fever to come down.Take paracetamol as prescribed and drink 3-4 litres of water everyday. Keep checking your platelet count regularly and if there is drastic fall in the count then immediately contact your doctor again for further advise

I'm a bit worried because I got injured 4 months ago on a rusty iron plate, and I had a tetanus shot then. Now, I've hurt myself again, this time on an iron shutter. Do you think I need to get another tetanus injection? How long does the effect of the shot usually last?

I've started taking Lariago DS and took 2 tablets at 2 PM. Then, around 4:30 PM, I suddenly developed a fever hitting 102. So I took some paracetamol. Can you tell me if it's okay to mix paracetamol with Lariago DS? Really looking forward to your advice.

Yes you can take no problem.
