I'm really worried because I've had a fever for more than two weeks now. I've been taking an antiflu antibiotic as well, but I'm not sure if this is normal or how much longer it'll take for me to fully recover. Is there anything else I should be doing or looking out for?

I'm really curious about the safety of Himalaya products. I'm considering taking multiple products like Geriforte, Mentat, and Bacopa together. Is this safe for everyone, including people of all ages or those with comorbidities? Would love to know how these might interact or affect overall health.

I've been having this low-grade fever for about 10 days now, hovering between 99 and 100 degrees. I'm not noticing any other symptoms. What do you think might be causing this? Should I be worried?

Well it's because of the weather conditions there is viral fever going on everywhere...you can take paracetamol sos...you also need to drink water well so that you hydrate yourself well...apart from that eating foovis also important...you need rest also...if the fever doesn't subside after 5 days...please see a physician and get the routine blood tests done..

I'm dealing with a mild cold and cough, and I had a fever yesterday. The local doctor prescribed me Lizolid, but the pharmacy gave me Linezolid instead. I'm wondering if they are the same thing. Could you help me out here?
