I've been dealing with a bad sore throat and a mild fever that's been coming and going for the last three days. It's pretty uncomfortable, and I'm starting to get worried. Someone mentioned trying diclomol, but I'm not sure if that's the best option. Could you suggest what medicine might help with these symptoms?

I'm dealing with a viral fever right now and I'm feeling alright at the moment. I've been sticking to fluids and vegetarian meals, but I'm really craving some spicy food, like non-vegetarian biryani. Is it okay to satisfy that craving while I'm in this condition?

-It's good that you're feeling better! You can enjoy some spicy non-vegetarian biryani if your appetite and digestion are normal now. Just eat in moderation and ensure it's freshly cooked to avoid upsetting your stomach.
