Do We ibuprofen paracetamol and caffeine tablet for fever
Male | 18
Ibuprofen, paracetamol, and caffeine tablets are usually not recommended for treating fever, as they are designed more for pain relief and headaches. For fever, paracetamol alone is generally sufficient. However, it's best to consult with a general physician to get proper guidance on the right medication for your specific condition.

Female | 19
If you have fully completed the ARV program and were given your last vaccine dose less than three months ago then there is no need to take such a vaccination again. But if you have bitten or scratched any animal suspected of having the rabies virus, then immediately consult a physician and go to an infectious diseases specialist for treatment.

Hi I would like to ask which medication can help with my fatigue,concentration and memory.As I am a student struggling with those very badly.
Female | 20
You seem to experience tiredness, difficulty focusing and struggles with memory. Various factors contribute, like pressure, insufficient rest, and unhealthy nutrition. Modafinil, a medication, sometimes helps these issues, especially for narcolepsy or sleep apnea patients. It increases alertness, potentially improving concentration and recall. You can visit a sleep specialist or general physician to get medications.

Fever and cold nose drops
Female | 20
Cold, runny-nosed, run-down, and with a sore throat: often is accompanied by fever. The most frequent reasons for this are viral infections, allergies, or exposure to irritants. Together with adequate hydration, rest, and OTC drugs, such as antipyretics, fever medications, and throat soothers, you can manage discomfort. Besides that, if you use humidifiers, you will relieve the nasal congestion. If the fever does not subside within a few days, or if severe symptoms occur, I suggest that you to consult a general physician.

Female | 14
If you suspect skin cancer, consult a dermatologist. Monitor any changes in moles or spots using the ABCDE rule. Take photos for documentation and avoid self diagnosis. A dermatologist can perform a thorough examination and potentially conduct a biopsy if necessary. Early detection is key for successful treatment.
