My dad's been dealing with a fever and a bad cold for the last couple of days. He's been taking Dolo 650 and just started on Taxim O 200 mg this morning. His fever is back again, can I give him Dolo now? Is it alright to take it along with Taxim?

Yes, you can give your dad Dolo 650 for his fever while he is taking Taxim O 200 mg antibiotics. Dolo 650 contains paracetamol which is safe to take with most antibiotics, including Taxim O. The usual dosage for Dolo 650 is 1 tablet every 4-6 hours as needed for fever. Just make sure not to exceed the maximum daily dose of paracetamol.

I'm a bit concerned because I've been feeling some slight pain in my lower left rib area for the past 10 days. It's mostly noticeable when I lie down on my bed for a few seconds. It doesn't feel like the rib bones themselves are hurting, but more like something underneath or nearby them. I've never smoked and haven't had any lung issues in the past, but I did have COVID about a year ago. Do you think this could be something related to my lungs or heart?

I got my vaccine today, and I'm wondering if it's okay to smoke afterwards. Should I wait before lighting up, and for how long if needed? Is smoking even related to the vaccine at all? I was advised not to drink alcohol after the shot, but no one mentioned anything about smoking. What should I do?
