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?

A fever persisting for more than two weeks is not normal and may indicate a secondary infection or complications from the flu. If you've already taken antiflu antibiotics and your fever persists, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment. The flu typically lasts from a few days to two weeks,

I've been sneezing a lot, dealing with a bad cold and coughing. My fever's been bouncing between 98.9 and 100.0. Do you think it's okay to take Sinarest and Cetrizine at the same time? How often should I be taking them?
While Sinarest (a combination of antihistamine, decongestant, and pain reliever) and Cetrizine (an antihistamine) can provide relief from cold and allergy symptoms, taking them together may increase the risk of drowsiness, dry mouth, and other side effects; however, if you still want to take them together, the typical dosage is Sinarest 1 tablet 3-4 times a day and Cetrizine 1 tablet 1-2 times a day, but please consult your doctor

I'm a bit worried about my C-reactive protein levels. I just got my results back, and it's showing 41 mgL. Can you tell me what this means for my health? And do you have any advice on how I could bring that number down?
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a marker of inflammation in the body. A level of 41 mgL indicates moderate inflammation. To reduce it, you can consider taking over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen. Additionally, lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and following an anti-inflammatory diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats can help reduce inflammation. High levels of CRP are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disorders, and chronic inflammatory conditions. It is important to address the underlying cause of inflammation to prevent long-term health complications.
