I'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:

Growth hormone injections: Only prescribed for growth hormone deficiencies, not for general height increase.

Ashwagandha: May help with overall health, but no conclusive evidence supports its height-increasing claims.

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:

I'm really concerned because she's been dealing with a sore throat and severe cold for five days now. Its still really bad. She's been taking Acemiz both day and night. Could you please give us some advice on what to do next?

For her symptoms, I recommend adding an over-the-counter medication like Strepsils for sore throat relief. Additionally, she can take Sinarest for cold symptoms. Make sure she stays hydrated and gets plenty of rest. If her symptoms persist or worsen, she should consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

I'm getting a bit worried about my brother's health. After a month of recovering from COVID, his LDH test shows a value of 282. I'm not sure if this is within the normal range. His CRP and D-Dimer results have come back normal, though. Should we be concerned about the LDH level, or is this something that can happen post-COVID?

LDH is moderately elevated
