I'm wondering if paracetamol is just for treating fevers, or can it help with colds as well? Are there other benefits to taking it? Would love to get some guidance on this.

Paracetamol (also known as acetaminophen) is a versatile medication that not only helps reduce fever but also relieves headache, toothache, muscle aches, and menstrual cramps, while also alleviating cold and flu symptoms, making it a commonly used over-the-counter medication for various pain and discomfort conditions.

View allIs it weird that I haven't had a fever in over two years, even with the weather changing or getting caught in the rain? I used to get them occasionally, and now I'm wondering if this is normal or if there's something going on inside my body that I should be worried about. It's starting to make me a bit anxious.
No need to worry. You are absolutely ok. Do pranayam regularly and drink plenty of water also.

I'm worried because my fever hasn't gone away in five days, and my platelet count has dropped to 94,000. I've been on a drip for these five days, but there's no change in the fever. What could be going on, and what should I do next?
It may take some time but consult nearest physician

I'm feeling really confused about my COVID medication schedule. I've been prescribed Ivermectin 12 mg for five nights, Azithromycin 500 for five afternoons, and a few other supplements like Limcee, zinc acetate, calcium with vitamin D3, and a vitamin B complex. My question is about Ivermectin should I take it before or after food? Also, after taking Azithromycin, I experience some discomfort in my stomach. Would it be okay to take Rantac in the morning before food to help with that?
Hello, Ivermectin can be taken after food to reduce any stomach irritation. As for Azithromycin, it can cause stomach discomfort, so taking Rantac before breakfast may help alleviate this. However, its always best to check with your doctor for personalized advice. Take care!
