I've been experiencing something a bit unusual. Occasionally, when I touch my skin, it feels hot to me, but when I ask others to feel it, they say my skin's actually cold. At the same time, even though my body feels warm on the inside, I start feeling really cold when the fan is on a higher speed. I don't have any other symptoms and it doesnt seem like a fever because I feel normal otherwise. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

You may be experiencing a sensation of altered temperature perception, where you feel hot but others perceive your skin as cold. This phenomenon could be due to various reasons such as changes in blood circulation, nerve function, or even psychological factors. One possible explanation could be related to a condition called peripheral neuropathy, which can affect how your body senses temperature. I recommend you to take Acetaminophen 500mg for relief, and if the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with persistent headaches for the past six years and whenever I have one, I usually take either Migranil or Topaz. The problem is that these medications don't seem to provide quick relief. I'm getting frustrated and worried. Could there be a reason why they're not working that well for me? Is there anything else I can try or do differently?
Consider the Following_ 1. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a pulmonologist to reassess your condition. 2. _Chest X-ray_: Get a chest X-ray to rule out any underlying lung conditions, such as pneumonia or bronchitis. 3. _Blood tests_: Your doctor may order blood tests to check for infections, inflammation, or other underlying conditions. 4. _Allergy testing_: If your doctor suspects allergies, they may recommend allergy testing to identify potential triggers. _Medication Adjustments_ 1. _Tasq DX syrup_: This syrup contains ambroxol, which helps loosen mucus. However, since it didn't provide relief, your doctor may recommend alternative expectorants. 2. _Green linctus BM_: This syrup contains a combination of ingredients, including menthol, eucalyptus, and terpineol. If this syrup didn't provide relief, your doctor may suggest other cough suppressants or combination products. _New Treatment Options_ 1. _Cough suppressants_: Your doctor may prescribe cough suppressants like codeine or dextromethorphan to help relieve your dry cough. 2. _Inhalers_: If your doctor suspects asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), they may prescribe inhalers to help manage your symptoms. 3. _Antihistamines_: If allergies are suspected, your doctor may recommend antihistamines to help alleviate your symptoms.
