I've been feeling a bit under the weather with a cold and a slight fever. Is it okay to take Calpol 650 for this? Is it effective for these symptoms? Just want to make sure it's the right choice.

Calpol 650, which contains paracetamol (acetaminophen), is commonly used to relieve mild to moderate pain and reduce fever. It can be taken for cold and slight fever, as it helps alleviate discomfort and reduce fever. However, it's important to follow the recommended dosage and consult a doctor if symptoms persist or worsen.

View allI've noticed some swelling in my armpits recently, and when I press in, I can feel some tissue and nerves. Could you help me understand what's going on and how I might be able to reduce it? I'm really hoping to get things back to normal.

To manage your symptoms, make sure to: - *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of fluids, such as water, clear broths, or electrolyte-rich beverages . - *Rest*: Get plenty of rest to help your body recover . - *Monitor your temperature*: Keep track of your temperature and report any changes to your doctor.

I'm dealing with this fever that keeps coming and going for the past month, and my head's been hurting a lot too. I even got a corona test done, and it came back negative. What should I do next?
The doctor's concerns warrant further investigation. Consult a pediatrician or a pediatric nephrologist for a comprehensive evaluation to rule out kidney issues. Allergy testing and growth monitoring can also help identify underlying causes. Request diagnostic tests like urinalysis, ultrasound, or blood work to determine the cause of the puffiness under your son's eyes.

Is it normal for my dad to shiver and have a high fever after a CECT scan? His temperature is around 102 degrees Celsius, and we've given him an antiallergic medicine and paracetamol, but it hasn't lowered. Could this be a dangerous reaction, or will he feel better soon? I'm worried because he's diabetic and has high blood pressure with a reading of 156100. Should I take him to the hospital, or wait it out?
Continue all the medications as advised by the physician.
