I've been feeling really under the weather with flu-like symptoms for the past few days. One of my coworkers just got diagnosed with swine flu. Should I be worried and get tested for it too?

If you're experiencing flu-like symptoms and were in close contact with someone diagnosed with swine flu, it might be a good idea to get tested, especially if your symptoms worsen or persist. It's always better to be cautious, and a test can help you manage your health more effectively.

View allI'm a 32-year-old guy and I've been dealing with something odd for a while. My body, especially my hands, always feel really hot, and people often ask me if I have a fever when I shake their hands. This has been going on for many years and I'm starting to get worried. Could there be something going on with my health? Any advice would be appreciated.
it sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of hyperhidrosis, which is excessive sweating that can make your body feel hot. I recommend trying anticholinergic medications such as Glycopyrrolate. This medication can help reduce excessive sweating and make you feel more comfortable. Remember to stay hydrated and avoid triggers that may worsen your symptoms.

I recently got my Covishield shot and was told to take paracetamol afterward. I've got Sinarest at home, which I noticed contains paracetamol along with some other stuff. Do you think it's alright if I just take the Sinarest instead?
Sinarest contains paracetamol along with other ingredients such as phenylephrine and chlorpheniramine. It is safe to take Sinarest for relief of symptoms such as fever and body aches after your Covishield jab.

I've been feeling pretty rough with a cold and flu, plus my nose won't stop running, and swallowing is really hard. I also have hay fever, so I'm kinda worried if that's making everything worse. Could this be something more than just a cold? What should I do to feel better?
