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

View allI'm worried about what happens if an Indian house lizard bites you. Is it poisonous, or can it cause some kind of health issue? Also, what should I do first if it happens?
Indian house lizard bites are generally not poisonous and do not cause serious health issues. However, the bite can sometimes lead to mild irritation, redness, or swelling at the site of the bite. If a lizard bites you, the first aid would involve cleaning the affected area with soap and water to prevent infection. You can apply a cold compress to reduce any swelling or pain. Over-the-counter antiseptic cream can also be applied to the bite area to prevent infection. If there is persistent pain or signs of infection, it is advisable to seek medical attention.
