I'm really worried because I've been taking paracetamol every 5 hours like they told me, but it's the third day now and I still don't see any improvement in my dengue fever symptoms. Could you suggest anything else I might try to get this under control?

It takes some time for the fever to come down.Take paracetamol as prescribed and drink 3-4 litres of water everyday. Keep checking your platelet count regularly and if there is drastic fall in the count then immediately contact your doctor again for further advise

Question

Is it okay for me to take Becozule Z tablets every day as a health supplement? I'm 23 and I do a lot of fitness training, so I take these tablets for the vitamins. I'm just wondering if it's safe.

I'm a bit worried about my body temperature. It usually stays around 98 to 98.7 in the morning but goes up to 99 by late afternoon, then drops back to 98.7 around 9 pm and stays there. It's been like this since April 10. For a couple of days in between, my temperature didn't go above 98.7. I haven't taken any meds for fever. Could this be something like typhoid or malaria? I haven't been able to get a blood test because of the whole corona situation. What do you think might be going on?

Question

I've been dealing with a sore throat and this strange sensation between my chest. It was really intense when it first showed up, but then the next day, I felt completely fine. Now that sore throat is back, and my chest feels tight again. Any idea what might be going on or what I should do about it?
