Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...I have been on this for a full 3 days. Taking one tablet in the morning and one at night. I don t seem any better. I m full on flu. Both ears are blocked and sore. The problem is since starting this treatment I haven t slept at all not even for a minute. Is this common when taking it? I am 31 years old and weigh 66kg and am 1.65cm
Since you have symptoms of flu taking just one tablet maybe insufficient hence you are not getting the relief. Hence I would advise you the following: - Consult your doctor to have clinical evaluation, examination, investigations of throat and blood if needed. This will allow him to prescribe you additional medicines as needed, follow you well and have symptomatic relief too. - Take bed rest for early and good recovery. - Take plenty of oral fluids to avoid dehydration. - Povidone iodine gargles. Further management as and when needed depending upon the result of treatment and blood reports.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
