A high temperature often indicates that your body is fighting an infection. To help reduce it, ensure you're staying hydrated by drinking fluids like water or herbal tea. Using a damp cloth on your forehead can also provide comfort. If you're feeling very uncomfortable, consider taking an over-the-counter fever reducer, as directed. However, if your symptoms persist, worsen, or you experience severe discomfort, please reach out to a physician.

I moved to middle east 8 months ago for job, here i get pain in throat and sore throat every other month and it last 4-5 days each times not less than that, in 8 moths i have been sick for 7-8 times. I have never been sick this much in my country ( i.e. Pakistan). Why this is happening is there something serious? Should i be worried?
Male | 32
Moving to a new country with different environmental factors can expose you to various health challenges. Recurring throat pain and sore throat may be due to climate change, allergens, or stress. While it's common to experience more illnesses during initial adjustments, it's essential not to ignore persistent symptoms.

Hello Can you advise me what to do with my test results and interpret them Low iron serum 22 Low folic acid 1.95 Low serum creatinine 0.56 High non hdl 184 High ldl 167
Female | 44
Your iron level in your blood is deficient, possibly causing tiredness and lack of strength. The folic acid measurement is also low, potentially resulting in fatigue and weakened immunity. Additionally, heightened non-HDL and LDL readings could raise the risk of cardiovascular issues. To address this situation, try incorporating more iron-packed and folic acid-rich foods into your diet.

4g of paracetamol 30 minutes ago, is that dangerous?
Male | 19
Taking 4 grams of paracetamol in one dose is within the recommended limit for most adults, but it's important to be cautious. Common symptoms of an overdose may include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, confusion, or yellowing of the skin. If you experience any of these signs, please seek medical attention promptly. Staying hydrated is also beneficial. It's always wise to consult a healthcare professional if you're uncertain about dosage or if you have any underlying health issues.

Female | 51
From the symptoms you have given, it is likely that your sister’s sleep disorders arises from her diabetes complication. I suggest that you see a sleep expert and get her tested to determine the kind of treatment needed. In terms of her falls, it is necessary to consider a neurologist in order not to miss any underlying issue with the nervous system. Make sure you consult your doctor every time an issue pertaining to health arises.

I drunk 4 sips of alcohol 30 mins after 500 mg paracetamol . But I realised I should not and I stopped. Am I safe?
Male | 37
It's probably not a good idea to drink alcohol after paracetamol. Though nothing terrible will happen if you've only had a few sips, it’s great that you didn’t drink more. Watch out for any nausea, stomachache or dizziness. If you start feeling bad, it’s better to visit a doctor.
