I've been sneezing a lot, dealing with a bad cold and coughing. My fever's been bouncing between 98.9 and 100.0. Do you think it's okay to take Sinarest and Cetrizine at the same time? How often should I be taking them?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
While Sinarest (a combination of antihistamine, decongestant, and pain reliever) and Cetrizine (an antihistamine) can provide relief from cold and allergy symptoms, taking them together may increase the risk of drowsiness, dry mouth, and other side effects; however, if you still want to take them together, the typical dosage is Sinarest 1 tablet 3-4 times a day and Cetrizine 1 tablet 1-2 times a day, but please consult your doctor

View allI'm curious about any long-term effects of taking two Limcee tablets a day. I've been on them for about two months and noticed my immunity has improved a lot, so I'm thinking about continuing with them. Are there any concerns I should be aware of?
Potential Causes* 1. *Anxiety and stress*: As you mentioned, anxiety can contribute to an elevated heart rate and palpitations. Career and family concerns are common stressors. 2. *Caffeine intake*: Consuming 3-4 cups of tea per day may be contributing to your elevated heart rate. Caffeine can increase heart rate and blood pressure. 3. *Dehydration*: Inadequate hydration can cause an increase in heart rate. Ensure you're drinking enough water throughout the day. 4. *Electrolyte imbalance*: An imbalance of essential minerals like potassium, magnesium, or calcium can affect heart rate. 5. *Hypothyroidism*: An underactive thyroid gland can cause an elevated heart rate. However, this is less likely given your normal echo results. 6. *Mitral valve prolapse*: A condition where the mitral valve doesn't close properly, leading to palpitations and an elevated heart rate. *Next Steps* 1. *Consult a cardiologist*: Schedule an appointment to discuss your symptoms and determine the best course of action. 2. *Reduce caffeine intake*: Try limiting your tea consumption to 1-2 cups per day to see if your heart rate improves. 3. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to ensure proper hydration. 4. *Monitor your heart rate*: Keep track of your heart rate and palpitations to identify any patterns or triggers. 5. *Consider stress management techniques*: Engage in stress-reducing activities like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises to help manage anxiety.

I've been experiencing an intermittent fever just during the day and some body aches. It started on Monday, then I was fine on Tuesday, but now it's back on Wednesday and today. What's possibly causing this pattern and what should I do about it?
get your blood test done and consult doctor

I'm really worried about the side effects of taking Paracetamol 500 mg, and I don't want to take it unless I really need to. Could you let me know at what temperature in Fahrenheit should I consider taking it? I'm trying to be cautious about it.
Paracetamol is a relatively safer antipyretic medication with little side effects. Maximum you can take is upto 4 tabs a day at 6 hour intervals after checking your body temperature if it's more than 100 degree f.
