I've been sneezing a lot lately, and now I have throat pain. I also noticed my white blood cell count is high. Does this mean I have an infection, and what kind of medicine should I consider taking?

I've been feeling really cold and shivery, with no energy at all. I had a slight fever with dizziness starting around 2am yesterday. I'm also dealing with diarrhoea, and I tried taking Digene a couple of times, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. I'm worried and not sure what to do next. Could you please give me some advice on how to feel better?

digene is a antacid and it doesn't help much in loose stools.

I'm a bit confused about taking Zentel. Is it okay to take it in the morning after I've had breakfast? And if I do, will it be alright to have lunch later in the day? Just want to make sure I'm doing it right!

Yes, you can take Zentel (brand name for albendazole) in the morning after food. It is usually recommended to take it with food to help improve absorption. You can take Zentel again after lunch, but be sure not to exceed the prescribed dosage.
