I've been wondering about something regarding my husband's medication. He was given Becosule Z to treat his mouth ulcers, and it's helped a lot since they're all cleared up now. But I'm curious, is it alright if he continues taking Becosule Z as a multivitamin for a while? Is it safe to keep using it longer term?

I'm curious about the lymph nodes in my neck. The doctor said they're within the normal range, but I've noticed what I thought was a supraclavicular lymph node. The doctor mentioned it was actually cervical. How high up from the collarbone would a supraclavicular lymph node typically be?

My brother just found out he has typhoid fever. Can you help me figure out a good diet plan for him? Like, what foods should he eat and what should he stay away from? Also, any tips on how we can keep everything hygienic during this time would be really helpful.

For typhoid fever, it is important to follow a specific diet to aid in recovery. Here is a suggested diet chart: - Foods to be taken: Easily digestible foods such as boiled vegetables, fruits, yogurt, soups, porridge, and well-cooked rice. - Foods to be avoided: Spicy foods, oily foods, raw vegetables, and undercooked meats should be avoided. - Hygiene tips: It is important to maintain good hygiene by washing hands regularly, drinking only clean and boiled water, and avoiding street food. In addition to the diet, it is important for your brother to take prescribed antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin or Azithromycin as per the doctor's recommendation. Make sure he completes the full course of antibiotics as prescribed.
