I've been dealing with a viral fever and a cold since last night, and I'm not sure what medicine would be best to take. I did have some paracetamol yesterday, but I'm wondering if there's anything else you could recommend?

I'm really concerned about my father's health because for the past two or three days, he's been feeling 'komppan' in his entire body during the afternoons into the evenings. We're trying to understand what kind of issue this might be and which type of specialist we should see about it. We're based in Greater Noida NCR. Do you think we need to get a complete body health checkup done? Any advice would be appreciated.
The symptoms you described, where your father experiences generalized body aching (komppan) in the afternoons and evenings, could be indicative of various conditions, such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, or even a viral infection; consider consulting a General Physician or an Orthopedician in Greater Noida (NCR) for an initial evaluation; a complete body health checkup may be beneficial in identifying underlying conditions, and your doctor may recommend diagnostic tests, such as blood work, X-rays, or an ECG, to determine the cause of the symptoms.

I've been dealing with a persistent cough for the last 10 days, and I'm really not sure what's going on. Could you recommend a good cough syrup that I can easily find at the pharmacy? I'm getting a bit worried since it's been going on for a while now.
For your persistent cough, I recommend taking Benadryl Cough Syrup. You can take 10ml of Benadryl Cough Syrup three times a day after meals. Make sure to follow the dosage instructions on the label.
