So, for the past few days, I've been dealing with this cold and fever, and my body keeps shivering. I've already taken some tablets like Cheston Cold and Combiflam, but I don't see any improvement. I'm kinda worried about it. Can you tell me what I should do next?

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?

Yes you can consume Alcohol nut in limited quantity.

I'm dealing with a cold and cough right now, and it's making me super anxious about my blood sugar levels. I decided to get a blood test done and walked about 500m to the clinic for it. Right after that, I felt the need to check my blood pressure and it came out as 140100. I'm really wondering if my anxiety and the cold are causing this spike in my blood pressure. Could that be possible?

Yes Anxiety would definitely cause hypertension,that's reversible, stay calm and relax, maintain healthy lifestyle.

I'm feeling really worried because I've been having a high fever with shivering for the past two days, but it seems to get better when I take Paracetamol. On top of that, I've got this bad cough and a runny nose. It's been really tough dealing with it all at once. Is this something I should be concerned about? What could be causing these symptoms?

That looks like Flu,no need to worry consume balanced diet and stay hydrated,if it's becoming worse visit Physician for evaluation and treatment
