It is advised to consult your doctor before continuing any medication. Vertin 16 mg is a higher dose compared to Vertin 10 mg and should be taken only after consultation with a specialist. An ENT specialist has to be consulted for the same, which he will give a proper examination for and prescribe the medicine accordingly.

Blood pressure was high that was 150/80 mm hg but later it got normal. The doctor was about to give me some injection to lower blood pressure but later didn't. I was not satisfied with doctor.
Female | 18
From the symptoms you mentioned, you probably experience a seizure of your blood sugar levels, known as hypoglycemia. You should seek help from an endocrinologist or a diabetes specialist and attend a detailed examination and proper treatment. Insulin can be a hazardous medication to self-select and therefore should only be taken upon a healthcare provider's advice.

I was having fever for last three days but after medicine its coming again i had medicine but its not cured.what will i do doctor.now i did blood check up .
Male | 50
For the past three days, you've had a fever, which suggests your body is fighting an infection. If the fever returns after taking medication, it's important to find out the underlying cause. A blood test can help identify the issue. Although you might not feel like engaging in sports or socializing, staying active can benefit your recovery. You did well in your last session, and your doctor has cleared you to continue treatment under their supervision.

It should be noted that tinnitus may manifest itself after a cold because of the inflammation in the middle ear. But the treatment plan that you offer seems adequate. In this regard, it is recommended to have all the antibiotics and dexamethasone. In case of absence of any improvements, you should see your ENT specialist for additional evaluation and treatment.
