Question

I'm worried about my friend's health. He's had a fever for two days, and his SGPT level is 69.0 while other test results are normal. The doctor prescribed him Ziprax 100. Do you think he needs to get any additional tests done?

Ziprax 100 might be appropriate for bacterial infections, but if fever persists or worsens, it is important to do further tests to rule out any serious underlying conditions, particularly related to the liver.

I've been taking ascoril syrup lately, and every time I use it, I get this shivering feeling throughout my body. When I checked my Fitbit, it showed my resting heart rate shot up to 108, whereas my usual resting heart rate is around 75. Do you think I should stop taking this medicine?
