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.

Hey, I recently recovered from dengue and it's been about two weeks since I was discharged from the hospital. I'm feeling healthy now, but I'm wondering if it's okay for me to start drinking alcohol or if I should wait a bit longer. Also, is it alright to smoke again, or could that cause any problems?

I've been feeling warm lately but don't have a fever. I checked my temperature three times, and it has been between 98 and 98.6 degrees. My throat feels a bit irritated, but there's no coughing. What should I do about this?

Given your symptoms of feeling warm without a fever, throat irritation, and no cough, consider the following steps: stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids, gargle with warm salt water to soothe your throat, and rest to help your body recover; if symptoms persist or worsen, consult a general physician for a proper evaluation and guidance, as it's possible you may be experiencing early signs of a viral or bacterial infection.
