I've been feeling really off since having a COVID infection back in April. It's strange because since around May 21st, I've been feeling really dizzy, almost like being in a moving bus or train, and I've been experiencing extreme weakness. My symptoms also include a dry cough and an evening fever that hovers between 99.4 to 99.8 degrees. My pulse rate shoots up to 170 just from climbing stairs, and I've even had some chest pain here and there. Luckily, my appetite is still okay. I got an X-ray done and was wondering if there's any sign of infection. A while back, my CRP was 14.65, and though I haven't tested it again lately, my ECG was normal. My CBC showed a WBC count of 11,500, with hemoglobin at 10.6. Everything else looked fine, and I've tested negative for typhoid and malaria. Just trying to figure out what's going on with me. Any insights?

View allI'm going through a rough patch right nowI have typhoid, and my monocytes count is showing up as zero. Should I be worried about this? Is there something serious going on? And if it is, what kind of medications should I be considering to address it? Also, I'm curious about what foods might help in boosting my monocytes count. Are there any specific tests I should get done? I'd really appreciate a quick replyI'm getting quite anxious about the whole situation.
Having a zero monocyte count can be a concerning finding, as monocytes are a type of white blood cell that plays a crucial role in fighting infections. In the context of typhoid fever, a zero monocyte count may indicate severe infection or bone marrow suppression. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I ate with my hands just about 3040 seconds after using a hand sanitizer and could still smell it on my hands. The sanitizer has 70% Isopropyl Alcohol, and I read somewhere that consuming it can be harmful. My hands were dry when I ate, but I'm a bit worried if there's any risk from the sanitizer residue. Is everything okay?
too much consume it should be harmful

Hey, I've had a fever for the past four days and I've been taking Zanocin, Paracetamol, PanD, and AtoZ. Can you help me figure out how to get better? I'm really concerned about this.
Continue taking the prescribed medications (Zanocin, Paracetamol, Pan-D, AtoZ) as directed by your doctor, and consider the following additional measures to help manage your fever: drink plenty of fluids, rest adequately, use a cool compress or take a cool bath to reduce body temperature, and monitor your temperature regularly; if your fever persists or worsens, consult your doctor for further evaluation and guidance.
