View allI've been having a fever between 100 and 102 that keeps coming back for the past 15 days, along with some body pain. I'm really worried and unsure what to do. Could you give me some advice?
Persistent fever and body pain for 15 days may indicate an underlying infection that needs to be addressed. I recommend taking Tab Paracetamol 500mg every 6 hours to help reduce the fever and body pain. Additionally, it is important to stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and eat nutritious foods. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've had a fever for five days now, and while my throat pain and cold have finally eased up, the phlegm remains. My fever just won't go down, though there's no body pain or stomach ache. The doctor gave me zocef, but I'm wondering if that's enough or if there's something more I should be doing. What do you think?

I've been dealing with lumbar radiculopathy and am finally in the recovery phase. I recently got my lipid profile done, and my triglycerides are at 180. Should I be worried about this level? What can I do to bring those numbers down?
A triglyceride level of 180 mgdL is slightly above the normal range. To reduce your triglyceride levels, you can make some lifestyle changes such as: - Following a healthy diet low in saturated fats, trans fats, and refined sugars - Increasing your intake of omega-3 fatty acids found in fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts - Exercising regularly - Limiting alcohol consumption - Quitting smoking if you smoke In addition to lifestyle changes, your doctor may also prescribe medication to help lower your triglyceride levels. One common medication used for this purpose is Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dose of 10-80 mg once daily. It is important to follow your doctor's advice and attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress.
