My grandmother has been getting a fever every evening, around 100 to 101 degrees, for the past five days. She feels fine in the morning but then suddenly starts feeling cold and the fever kicks in during the evening. We've been giving her Crocin each night, but we're not sure what else to do. Could you give us some advice on how to help her?

View allI'm a bit confused about taking Zentel. Is it okay to take it in the morning after I've had breakfast? And if I do, will it be alright to have lunch later in the day? Just want to make sure I'm doing it right!
Yes, you can take Zentel (brand name for albendazole) in the morning after food. It is usually recommended to take it with food to help improve absorption. You can take Zentel again after lunch, but be sure not to exceed the prescribed dosage.

I've been feeling a bit worried and wanted to get your insight. I'm a 52-year-old female, and its been about 20 days since I had COVID. My recent tests showed a CRP level of 47 and ESR at 52. During the COVID illness, my ESR was at 50 but CRP was lower, like 0.20, 0.60, and then 3. Now it's at 46 after a week, and my D-dimer is reading 610. Should I be worried about these results? Would love to know what this could mean.
infection is reducing,give sometime to fully recover and levels will come normal

I can't remember if I've already taken a dose of EBAS 20, and now I'm worried I might've accidentally taken two instead of one. What should I do in this situation?
Your mother's oxygen levels are a concern, especially with the drop in levels at night. This condition is known as nocturnal hypoxemia . Given her age and symptoms, it's essential to investigate the underlying cause. Possible causes of low oxygen levels include: - *Respiratory issues*: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, or asthma . - *Cardiovascular conditions*: Heart failure, coronary artery disease, or cardiac arrhythmias . - *Sleep disorders*: Sleep apnea or insomnia . - *Other medical conditions*: Anemia, pulmonary embolism, or lung cancer . Consult a doctor to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment. They may recommend: - *Oxygen therapy*: Supplemental oxygen to help increase oxygen levels . - *Medications*: To manage underlying conditions, such as bronchodilators for COPD or diuretics for heart failure . - *Lifestyle changes*: Quitting smoking, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight .
