My 27 year old daughter had viral fever on Monday. After three days, the fever went away, but she is still suffering from a persistent cough. Her blood report and chest X ray are normal. She has taken many medicines and syrups, but the cough has not improved. The doctor said there is an infection in her throat. Please suggest what we should do next.

Likely post viral throat irritation or bronchitis. Steam inhalation, voice rest, and soothing syrups may help. If dry cough persists beyond 2 weeks, re evaluation needed.

Why do I sometimes suddenly feel a chill during the day? I have checked my fever but it is 97.4. Four days ago my WBC was slightly elevated and today it is back to normal. Currently I am taking Ganaton OD and Pan 40 for acid reflux. One month ago I had chickenpox. I am very worried about this. Please check my report.

Question

Hi Sir, I want to know how long it takes for HIV antibodies to develop. I got tested 2 years ago, and the result was negative, but some doctors say it can take up to 10 years. I am experiencing symptoms like swollen lymph nodes, oral thrush, tiredness, kapha, and nail line changes. Based on my report, is it conclusive, or should I take a retest?
