I'm really worried because I've had a fever on and off for a week, and I've been taking Dolo 650 and the Taxim antibiotic intermittently as prescribed by my doctor. He suggested I get another platelet test done, but since my last test was just under 24 hours ago, I was told I need to wait 24 hours before doing it again. For the last couple of days, I've been taking the meds continuously, and while I do feel a bit better, I'm not fully recovered. My body aches and my fever's hovering around 101. Could this possibly be dengue?

Considering your symptoms and the need for another platelet test, it is important to continue monitoring your condition closely. In case of suspected dengue fever, it is recommended to maintain hydration and rest. Additionally, you can consider taking Paracetamol 500mg for fever and body pain relief. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about this fever I've been dealing with since last week. It's been coming and going, and I'm also struggling with a cold. Every time I take medicine, I feel better for a few hours, but then the fever just comes back. What could be causing this, and how can I get it under control?

Your recurring fever and cold symptoms, despite temporary relief from medication, may indicate a underlying infection, such as a viral or bacterial infection, sinusitis, or a secondary infection like pneumonia or bronchitis; consider consulting a doctor for a thorough evaluation, including a physical examination, blood tests, and possibly a chest X-ray, to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment, which may include antibiotics, antivirals, or anti-inflammatory medications

I recently got some tests done for Vitamin B and Vitamin D deficiencies, and the reports showed there's some issue. I'm feeling a bit concerned and would really appreciate some guidance on what steps I should take next or what these results might mean for my health. What should I be expecting in terms of treatment or lifestyle changes?

Delayed periods after stopping Duphaston is common, especially with PCOD. Possible reasons: 1. *Hormonal adjustment*: Your body might take time to adjust to the hormonal changes after stopping Duphaston. 2. *Withdrawal bleeding*: Duphaston can cause withdrawal bleeding, which might be delayed or irregular. Actions to consider: 1. *Wait a few more days*: Give your body some more time to adjust. 2. *Consult your doctor*: Reach out to your doctor for guidance and to rule out any underlying issues. 3. *Track your symptoms*: Monitor your symptoms, and if you experience heavy bleeding, severe abdominal pain, or other concerns, seek medical attention.
