View allI've been dealing with a fever for a couple of days, along with a cough and a cold. I started by taking Crocin Advance, but then switched to taking Nicip Plus. I feel a little better, but I'm still feeling kind of feverish. Is there anything else I should be doing or taking, or do I just need a bit more time to recover?
Increasing height after growth plates have closed (around 18-25 years old) is challenging. Available medications and supplements claim to increase height, but their effectiveness and safety are questionable: 1. _Growth hormone injections_: Only prescribed for growth hormone deficiencies, not for general height increase. 2. _Ashwagandha_: May help with overall health, but no conclusive evidence supports its height-increasing claims. 3. _Speed Height capsules_: Lack scientific evidence and may contain untested ingredients. Consult a healthcare professional or an endocrinologist for personalized advice. They can help you: 1. Assess your growth potential 2. Identify underlying growth-related issues 3. Discuss safe and evidence-based options

I ate with my hands just about 3040 seconds after using a hand sanitizer and could still smell it on my hands. The sanitizer has 70% Isopropyl Alcohol, and I read somewhere that consuming it can be harmful. My hands were dry when I ate, but I'm a bit worried if there's any risk from the sanitizer residue. Is everything okay?
too much consume it should be harmful
