My dad was admitted about a week ago. His white blood cell count was 16,800, but it's normal now. However, the Widal test came back positive at 1:160. He's on treatment with Pipzo 4.5g injections, Pantop, Ns 500ml, Nurostar injections, and taking Calpol 650 and Cefuroxime 500 twice a day. Is this the right approach? I'm a bit worried and could use some guidance.

I've been feeling really hot inside for over 10 days now. At first, I thought it might be a viral fever, but it's been going on too long. My mouth, hands, and feet are constantly warm, and it's really making it hard for me to focus on anything. What can I do?

That could be due to dehydration and vitamin deficeincy,consume more fluids and balanced diet,if its becoming worse visit physician for evaluation

I need to get a medical fitness certificate for my driving license application, and I'm supposed to submit it at the RTO in Pune on the day of my appointment. Could you tell me how I should go about getting this certificate? Do I need to visit a specific clinic or doctor in Pune? Also, are there certain tests or checks that I should expect during this process? Just want to make sure I have everything ready and don't run into any surprises.

I'm really worried because I've been having this fever that just won't go away. I had it originally on February 10th, took some medicine, and felt okay, but then it came back on the 19th, and even after seeing a doctor and taking the prescribed meds, the fever's still hovering around 100F or 101F. I even had some tests done like the Typhidot Igm and blood cultures which came back negative, and my CBC was normal, but the fever didn't stop. I was put on TaximO and Calpol 500, which seemed to help for a bit, but after three days, the fever returned. Now, with my regular doctor unavailable, I switched to another one who ran more tests like the thyroid panel and CRP, and turned out the CRP is positive. They also found my bilirubin to be a bit high and ALT levels at 79. The new doctor's prescribed Dolo 650 and Pantocid, and I'm noticing that the fever goes down after taking paracetamol, but it just comes back after a few hours. What's going on with me? Is there something serious causing the fever to keep coming back?
