I've had a fever since early this morning, and it's coming down a bit. But my heart rate is staying pretty high, around 110-130 BPM. Is this usual when you have a fever, or should I be more worried about this heart rate change? I'm feeling really anxious about it. My apple watch even gave me a high heart rate alert while I was resting this evening. What should I do?

Normal, if still heart rate persists more than 100 beats per minute after fever subsides u may require an ecg and cardiac markers .

I'm feeling pretty miserable with a runny nose, headache, and a bit of a fever since yesterday. I tried taking some nimesulide and paracetamol, but it hasn't helped at all. Can you suggest something that might actually work? I'm really looking for the best prescription you could recommend.

I got my vaccine today, and I'm wondering if it's okay to smoke afterwards. Should I wait before lighting up, and for how long if needed? Is smoking even related to the vaccine at all? I was advised not to drink alcohol after the shot, but no one mentioned anything about smoking. What should I do?

i will not advise you for smoking and conxuming liquor because all these cause bad impact on our health
