Lately, I've been having this recurring fever for about a month and a half now, and along with it, there's been this nagging joint and body pain. It's really starting to worry me. Could you advise on what kind of tests I should consider getting done?

Get a complete blood count (CBC) test to check for any signs of infection or inflammation in your body. Additionally, a test for dengue fever or chikungunya may also be considered based on your symptoms. Please consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm experiencing something strange with my fingers, and I'm hoping you could help figure out what's going on. Sometimes in a week, my right hand middle finger shows a range from 93 to 95 or from 98 to 94. But when I check my left middle finger or any other finger, it's always between 97 and 100. This inconsistency has got me really puzzled. Could there be any reason why my right middle finger is showing these changes while the others aren't? Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

I'm a bit worried because my mom got prescribed Sompraz 40 for her Rheumatic Arthritis side effects, but the pharmacy gave us Sompraz D 40 instead. Do you think it's okay to use this one or should I try to get it exchanged for the original prescription? Just want to make sure she's taking the right medication.

Sompraz and Sompraz D 40 are related but not identical medications. _Sompraz_ typically contains Pantoprazole 40 mg, which is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to reduce stomach acid. _Sompraz D 40_, on the other hand, is a combination medication containing Pantoprazole 40 mg and Domperidone 30 mg. Domperidone is a prokinetic agent that helps with gastrointestinal motility. If your mom's doctor prescribed Sompraz, it's likely they intended for her to take only the Pantoprazole. Taking Sompraz D 40 might not be harmful, but it's essential to clarify with her doctor to ensure she receives the intended treatment.
