I've been dealing with a dry cough for a few days now and have been taking Benadryl dry cough syrup, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Could you recommend any tablets that might work better?

I'm feeling pretty worried because I've been experiencing weakness, a mild fever, pain just below my ribs, loss of appetite, and dizziness. When I went to the doctor, they said I have typhoid and that the pain below my ribs is due to swelling in my spleen. They did a Widal test and a blood test. Lately, I've also started having pain in my left shoulder. I'm not sure if the medicine the doctor prescribed is meant to treat both the typhoid and the spleen issue. Should I consider consulting another doctor about this? The prescription says I should take Tab Pyroflox, Olgerd D, Dolo 650, and SunUp S.

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

I'm just wondering, how often should I take D-Cold Total in a day? I'm feeling a bit under the weather and not sure what's safe. Could you guide me on this?

You can take four times a day maximum, depending upon the severity of symptoms.
