My daughter is 22 and she's got a really high fever. It seems to go down a bit with Calpol 650, but her heart rate gets really fast. Her heartbeat is a lot quicker, and it's worrying me. What should I do?

It sounds like your daughter may be experiencing tachycardia (fast heart rate) as a result of the fever. In this case, you can give her Ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg to help reduce the fever and also help with any inflammation that may be causing the fast heart rate. Make sure to keep her well hydrated and monitor her temperature and heart rate closely. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention immediately.

I'm a big fan of pork and eat it quite often. Recently, my biology teacher mentioned something about helminths and suggested that people who love pork should consider taking albendazole, although I'm not entirely sure if that's how you spell it. Should I be taking this too? If so, how many tablets should I take, and when should I be taking them?

I'm dealing with a cold that's been lingering for about five days now. I've been using Alerid syrup but havent felt any better. Do you think Hicet syrup would be a better option to help with this?

Food intolerance 4. Gut motility issues Chest pain on both sides, even if mild, can be related to: 1. Gas and acid reflux 2. Musculoskeletal issues 3. Anxiety or stress 4.

I'm kind of worried about my CRP levels. I just found out it's at 2.16, and I'm not sure if that's something I should be really concerned about. Could this be a major problem for me? Also, what steps can I take to bring my CRP levels back to normal? Is there a chance it could be harmful to my health?

It is normal c reactive protein level. As per this value no inflammatory pathology in liver. Next Steps if any doctor suggested for any clinical sign then good to consult directly that doctor if any health issue
