I'm trying to understand how I should take albendazole for deworming as an adult. Do I just need a single dose, or is it better to take two doses? And if it's two doses, how many days apart should I take them?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
To take albendazole for deworming in adults, you typically only need a single dose. The usual recommended dosage for albendazole in adults is 400mg as a single dose. It is important to take the medication at night, preferably with food, to increase its absorption and effectiveness. Remember to follow your healthcare provider's instructions and do not exceed the recommended dosage. If you have any specific health conditions or concerns, please consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

View allI'm really worried because my CRP level is way higher than normal at 39.1. I've also been dealing with a high fever. What could be causing this and how should I go about treating it?
Common causes of elevated CRP levels include infections, inflammatory conditions, tissue injury, and chronic diseases. To treat this, you may need to address the underlying cause. If it is due to an infection, antibiotics may be prescribed. If it is due to inflammation, anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen or naproxen may be recommended. In the case of chronic diseases, managing the underlying condition is important. For your high fever, you can take acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol) to help reduce the fever and make sure to stay hydrated. Rest is also important to help your body fight off the infection or inflammation. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management based on your specific condition.

My wife has been dealing with diarrhoea and a fever for the past couple of days, and now her oxygen level reads 94 on the pulse oximeter. Is this something we should be worried about? She doesn't have breathlessness or a cough right now, but I'm trying to figure out if this SpO2 level is safe, and when we should be concerned. Could you give some advice on this?
94 is safe no need to worry
