No history of diabetes, blood pressure or heart problems. Had chills then a fever for 2 days (once a day). Took azithromycin for 3 days. On the third day results showing C-reactive protein 193.07?

Answered on 28th June '24
Your symptoms point to an infection. Elevated C-reactive protein usually signals your body combating one. Since you've taken azithromycin, keep drinking fluids, resting, and complete the antibiotics. However, if the fever persists or new issues arise, promptly see a doctor.

I am a 25 year old male and I have headache, sore throat, body pain and fever since yesterday. I have taken azinthromyacin antibiotics. But nothing yet. What could be the problem?
Male | 25
Based on what you have told me like a headache, a sore throat, muscle aches, and a fever it sounds like you might have flu, a viral infection. Antibiotics such as azithromycin won’t help because antibiotics kill bacteria not viruses; therefore they will do nothing for you if this is influenza. The only things to do for now are rest in bed all day with clear liquids (water) to drink while taking painkillers such as aspirin so that one can sleep comfortably through these unpleasant symptoms but should any of them become severe or last more than a week then please seek medical attention as soon as possible.

Male | 19
It is essential to remember that the bulk of height usually depends on genes and can be slightly affected by eating habits and physical activities. On the other hand, if you have insecurities in regards to your height, it is wise to see an endocrinologist who can assess and give you a good advice.

What to do after injection of ceftriaxone wrongly and the part injected is increasing in size
Female | 22
This issue can arise when the medicine unintentionally enters surrounding tissues instead of muscle. Apply a warm, damp cloth to the affected region - this should help ease discomfort and reduce swelling somewhat. Keep the area clean, and watch closely for potential signs of infection like redness, excessive warmth, or pus formation. However, if symptoms intensify or you start feeling ill overall, it's crucial to promptly seek professional medical evaluation.

I have very fever from 2 days And have throat pain I can't eat anything
Female | 27
You might be dealing with a regular cold or flu. Both fever and throat pain are common symptoms. Building up a fever is your body's way of getting rid of the infection. Among the reasons one can experience throat pain is inflammation of the throat. Use methods like drinking water, getting enough rest, and trying to alleviate your throat pain with warm drinks or honey to minimize these symptoms.

Iam 15 years boy and I have headache,fever,cold and cough from last 2 days
Male | 15
Headache, fever, cold, and cough are basically the same thing, which are viral infections such as the common cold or influenza. The reason behind these symptoms is that germs invade your body and cause sickness. To feel better, rest, drink plenty of water and soup, and take fever and headache medicines should be your top priorities.

If a rat bites you, watch out for further developments regarding your muscular dystrophy. If the signs of inflammation of your hand appear such as redness, swelling, warmth, or pus you may require antibiotics which will need to be prescribed by a doctor. Act fast, to avoid complications.

And and today's it's the 10th day the cat was still fine and the same cat was also scratch my granny on January 2024 and granny was completely fine and vaccinated, so what should I do doctor?
Female | 20
It was a good decision to get the rabies vaccination after the first cat scratch. Since the blood test was missed after the second scratch, it's recommended to get a second vaccination as a precaution. Even if the cat seems healthy, rabies can take time to show symptoms.

Male | 25
The symptoms you have mentioned strongly imply either a systematic iron or vitamin B12 deficiency. The symptoms are fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, and other problems. If the injections fail, increasing dietary intake of iron-rich foods like spinach, and lentils, and vitamin B12 sources like eggs, dairy, or fortified cereals is essential. Regularly with consumption of these nutrients, you will feel better.

Hello, I'm 25 yrs old male. Going to the gym three to four time a week. I would like to know if I can take Zinc capsule, Magnesium capsule, Fish oil capsule, Biotin B7 capsule and B complex
Male | 25
Zinc, Magnesium, Fish oil, Biotin B7, and B complex are good supplements. But try getting them from food first. If you feel sluggish, can't snooze well, or notice skin/hair changes, these might assist. Just don't overdo the dosage amounts.
