My dad's 58 and he's been dealing with a high fever, loose motion, and shivering since yesterday. Today the fever's come down, but the loose motion hasn't stopped. He's also feeling weak and has body pain. We started him on antibiotics, like allopathic medicine, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. What should we do next?

I'm a bit concerned because I've been running a low-grade fever for about 10 days now. Every evening, it goes up to 99 or 100 degrees. I've already tested for dengue, malaria, and typhoid, and all came back negative, but the fever's still there. What do you think might be causing this, and what should I do next?

I'm thinking about getting a full body check-up since I haven't done one in a while. I'd like to understand if there's any imbalance in my body or if there's anything I should be aware of to take care of myself proactively. Can you help guide me on this?

I recommend you to get a comprehensive master health check-up to assess your overall health status. This will help identify any potential imbalances or health issues that may need to be addressed proactively. During the check-up, various tests will be conducted to evaluate your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, blood sugar levels, kidney function, liver function, and overall organ health. Based on the results, appropriate interventions can be recommended to maintain or improve your health. Additionally, make sure to discuss any specific concerns or symptoms you may have with your healthcare provider during the check-up. Regular health check-ups are essential for early detection and prevention of any potential health problems.
