I've had a throat infection and fever since the night of the 18th. I've been taking paracetamol and zifi 200, but as soon as the medication wears off, the fever comes back. Can you suggest what other medicine I should consider taking?

It seems like you may need a stronger antibiotic for your throat infection. I recommend taking Augmentin along with continuing paracetamol for fever. Additionally, you can try Betadine gargles for relief of throat symptoms. Remember to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed.

So, I took Taxim AZ 200 around 2 pm today and my friends are planning a party tonight. I'm wondering if it's okay for me to have some alcohol. What do you think?

I'm dealing with a fever and taking Crocin to help with it. Is it fine if I also take vitamin B and C along with Crocin? And another thing, when should I take the Crocin, before or after meals?

I'm a little worried about something. I had typhoid fever last week and while I don't have the fever anymore, my mouth is still tasting really bitter. I've tried a bunch of things but nothing's working. I'm also feeling pretty weak. What could be causing the bitter taste and how can I get rid of it?

Concerning symptoms. Possible causes: 1. Hemorrhoids 2. Anal fissures 3. Proctitis 4. Gut issues (e.g., IBS) Home remedies for instant relief: 1. Warm water sitz baths (15-20 minutes, 2-3 times a day) 2. Apply coconut oil or aloe vera gel to the affected area 3. Increase fiber intake (fruits, vegetables, whole grains) 4. Stay hydrated (8-10 glasses of water) 5. Practice relaxation techniques (deep breathing, meditation) to manage depression and stress Consult a doctor (proctologist or gastroenterologist) for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
