I've been dealing with a sore throat that sometimes hurts a bit when I swallow, plus I've got this pain in my left shoulder. I've also been feeling pretty weak for about 5 days now. Should I be worried about this combination of symptoms, and do you think I need to see a doctor?

-It sounds like you're dealing with a combination of a sore throat, shoulder pain, and general weakness. This could be due to a viral infection or even muscle strain, but if it persists, it's a good idea to consult a doctor for further evaluation.

I've been dealing with a cold, cough, and fever about 10 to 15 days ago. Now, even though my body still feels hot, there's no fever when I use a thermometer. I'm also experiencing a bit of weakness. Any idea what these symptoms could mean? What medication could help prevent or cure this?

These symptoms could be related to a post-viral syndrome, where your body is still recovering from the previous cold, cough, and fever. The feeling of body heat without an actual fever could be due to residual inflammation or immune response. The slight weakness may also be a lingering effect of the previous illness. To help alleviate these symptoms, you can consider taking a medication like Paracetamol (brand name: Tylenol) for any discomfort or perceived feverishness. Additionally, you may benefit from over-the-counter cough syrups like Dextromethorphan (brand name: Robitussin) for any lingering cough. Make sure to get plenty of rest, stay hydrated, and eat nutritious foods to support your body's recovery.

I'm not feeling well since yesterday. I've been having a headache, feeling dizzy, experiencing body pains, and I'm just really weak overall. I already took Dolo 650, but it didn't help. What do you think I should do?

Given the persistence of your symptoms, including headache, dizziness, body pains, and weakness, despite taking Dolo 650, it's essential to consult a doctor to rule out underlying conditions like viral infections, sinusitis, or migraines; in the meantime, stay hydrated, rest, and consider taking a pain reliever like Paracetamol or Ibuprofen,
