Question 1

I'm worried about what happens if an Indian house lizard bites you. Is it poisonous, or can it cause some kind of health issue? Also, what should I do first if it happens?

Accepted Answer

Indian house lizard bites are generally not poisonous and do not cause serious health issues. However, the bite can sometimes lead to mild irritation, redness, or swelling at the site of the bite. If a lizard bites you, the first aid would involve cleaning the affected area with soap and water to prevent infection. You can apply a cold compress to reduce any swelling or pain. Over-the-counter antiseptic cream can also be applied to the bite area to prevent infection. If there is persistent pain or signs of infection, it is advisable to seek medical attention.

Question 2

When is the right time to take Meftal Forte if you have a fever? How many times a day is it okay to take it? Should I only use it when I actually have a fever or is there another guideline to follow?

Accepted Answer

You can use it twice in a day at a gap of 10-12 hrs.

Question 3

I've been sneezing a lot, dealing with a bad cold and coughing. My fever's been bouncing between 98.9 and 100.0. Do you think it's okay to take Sinarest and Cetrizine at the same time? How often should I be taking them?

Accepted Answer

While Sinarest (a combination of antihistamine, decongestant, and pain reliever) and Cetrizine (an antihistamine) can provide relief from cold and allergy symptoms, taking them together may increase the risk of drowsiness, dry mouth, and other side effects; however, if you still want to take them together, the typical dosage is Sinarest 1 tablet 3-4 times a day and Cetrizine 1 tablet 1-2 times a day, but please consult your doctor
