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.

I've been experiencing a fever with a lot of shivering. It started last evening, and I took Crocin at night, but early this morning, I had really intense shivering again and took Dolo 650. I'm concerned about what's causing this and whether I should be doing something different to feel better. Is there something specific I should keep an eye on or maybe go see a doctor?

I've been feeling really unwell lately. I caught a fever from the cold weather, and to make matters worse, I ended up eating some ice cream. While I was asleep, my family turned on the cooler, and the room got way too cold. So now, I woke up with this nasty cold, a splitting headache, and my fever's just gotten worse since then. What should I do to get better?

So, my wife and I just had rice for dinner, and I realized there was a parad tikdi in it by accident. Should we be worried about any harmful effects from that?
