I've been dealing with a mild fever, body aches, and loose motions for the last couple of days. It's not constant, but it does keep coming back. I took a couple of doses of Nicip, which helped for a while, but today the loose motions and fever are back, and I just feel really low on energy. What could be causing this recurring pattern, and should I be concerned about anything specific?

Could be a viral infection causing gastroenteritis. To help with your symptoms, you can take a combination of medicines. You can take Tab. Paracetamol 500mg for fever and bodyache, along with Tab. Loperamide 2mg for loose motions. Make sure to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids and consider taking ORS (Oral Rehydration Solution) to replenish lost electrolytes. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention.

I'm dealing with a fever that's been going on for two days now. The doctor mentioned it's viral, but I'm just wondering how long it'll usually take to get better. Would it be a few more days, or could it last longer?

-Viral fevers usually last 35 days, but rest and hydration can help you recover faster. If the fever persists beyond 5 days or worsens, follow up with your doctor. Take care!

I'm experiencing some pain on the left side of my lower rib cage, especially when I breathe. It just came on suddenly while I was sleeping in the evening and I'm a bit worried about what might be causing it. Could you help me understand what's going on?

The sudden onset of left lower rib cage pain when breathing may indicate costochondritis, pneumothorax, pleurisy, or muscle strain; however, it's essential to consult a doctor promptly to rule out any underlying serious conditions, especially if the pain worsens, is severe, or accompanied by difficulty breathing, cough, or fever.

I'm experiencing some body pain, a slight fever, and a sore throat for the past couple of days. Could this be from a stomach infection? I tend to get those often. Is it alright to take aldigesic p, norflox tz, and azilide at the same time for this?

As of now you can take a tab. Paracetamol 650mg thrice a day after food for 2 days. If it still persists, you can start a online consultation with me so that I can take a detailed history and suggest you further
