My 27 year old daughter had viral fever on Monday. After three days, the fever went away, but she is still suffering from a persistent cough. Her blood report and chest X ray are normal. She has taken many medicines and syrups, but the cough has not improved. The doctor said there is an infection in her throat. Please suggest what we should do next.

Likely post viral throat irritation or bronchitis. Steam inhalation, voice rest, and soothing syrups may help. If dry cough persists beyond 2 weeks, re evaluation needed.

I have been having light bleeding for a month. The doctor has advised me to take Pause MF to stop the bleeding. I have taken all hormonal tests, PCOD, and thyroid tests, and everything is within the normal range. Can I take Pause MF to stop the bleeding? For how many days can I take it?

Does the below test report indicate any potential problems during pregnancy? My haemoglobin and RBC count are lower than normal, while the WBC count is higher than the normal range. Additionally, the urine test shows a trace amount of sugar. I would like to know if these values being outside the normal range could cause any complications during pregnancy.

Dear doctor, if typhoid is positive in the lab report, is hospital admission required, or can I take antibiotic injections in the morning and evening on a day care basis like a general OP patient? Please advise. If admission and IV fluids are required, how many days will it take to cure?
