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.

This isn't the first time it's happened its come up once or twice a year in the same spot but eventually goes away. Im just really tired of dealing with it. I had a head cold about three weeks ago but other than that, I'm a healthy 27-year-old and take pretty good care of myself. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I've noticed my total protein level is 8.6, with albumin at 4.5 and globulin at 4.1. Should I be worried about these elevated protein levels? Do you think its necessary for me to consult a doctor about this?
With a total protein of 8.6, albumin of 4.5, and globulin of 4.1, your protein levels are actually within the normal range (total protein: 6.4-8.9 gdL, albumin: 3.5-5.5 gdL, globulin: 2.0-3.5 gdL), so consultation with a doctor may not be necessary unless you have underlying medical conditions or symptoms that warrant further evaluation.
