My wife is feeling okay most of the time, but suddenly she's getting cold, has a head pain, and sneezes a lot. Im kind of worried and not sure what to do. She took a Recofast tablet and seemed to feel better for a while. Does this sound like a common issue, or should we be looking out for something more serious?

Persistent cough and throat infection can be frustrating.
Considering you've already taken Azithromycin, Montair LC, and Omnacortil, it's possible that:
- The infection might be viral, requiring antiviral medication or supportive care.
- The antibiotic course might not have been completed or effective.
- Underlying allergies or asthma might be exacerbating symptoms.
Consult your doctor to reassess your condition and adjust treatment accordingly.

View allI'm feeling really confused and worried right now. I had a fever and took a paracetamol tablet at night, then ended up sweating a lot. I thought it might be some reaction to the tablet, but the next morning I woke up feeling really cold. I decided to go to the hospital, and the consultant told me its because of viral fever. Ive always thought that the main symptom of a viral infection would be a runny nose. Am I wrong about that? I got a blood test done, and the results were all normal, but the doctor still wants me to come back in two days to check my platelets. What do you think is going on?

I'm really worried because I've had body pain and a mild fever for the past three days. The doctor recommended I get some blood and urine tests done, and the results show pus cells at 25-30 WBCHPF and epithelial cells at 10-15. Could this be something serious, or is it more of a normal finding? What should I do next?
The presence of 25-30 WBCHPF (pus cells) and 10-15 epithelial cells suggests an infection or inflammation, likely in the urinary tract. It's important to follow up with your doctor to interpret the results and determine if you need treatment, such as antibiotics or further tests.

I've been dealing with a throat infection and I'm on mahacef 200. It's helping, but I'm still having a lot of sneezing and a runny nose. I tried cetrizine, but it's not really working for me. Is it okay to take cheston cold along with mahacef 200?
Yes, you can take cheston cold along with mahacef 200 for relief from sneezing and running nose. The combination of cheston cold will help with your symptoms. Take cheston cold as per the recommended dosage on the packaging.
