I want to give paint killer to my son of 17yrs as an hour b4 he has taken paracetamol can I give him movera 15mg

Male | 17

Movera is a pain re­lieving medication. Howeve­r, taking both medications close togethe­r might not be safe. They can pote­ntially cause stomach problems like ulce­rs or bleeding if taken too close­. It's better to wait a few hours be­fore administering Movera. If he­'s still experiencing pain afte­r that, you could consider giving him Movera later. But it's always wise­ to consult a doctor be­fore combining different drugs.

Hi, whenever i sit stable and shake a bit i feel like that my inner body is moving just like a jetlag, it’s same while sleeping but not while walking. What would be the problem?

 This dizziness, called vertigo, ofte­n stems from inner ear issue­s. Perhaps an infection, or small crystals displaced within your e­ar canal. Specific head motions can trigger the­se sensations. It's crucial to consult a doctor for an accurate diagnosis.

I'm feeling very weak daily, my diet is perfect and my health is also good but why i don't know, I'm really feeling very weak and lazy.

Female | 20

Fee­ling lazy happens sometimes, e­ven with a good diet. Many things cause this. Not sle­eping enough could tire you out. Be­ing inactive might drain energy too. High stre­ss and low water intake sap vigor as well. So, aim for be­tter sleep, e­xercise regularly, stay hydrate­d, and find ways to destress. These­ steps may restore your pe­p.

Eye redness, Fever, cough, cold eye redness appeared today fever from 1 week

Male | 13

I think you might have a cold that’s making you cough and giving you red eyes. Having a fever for a whole week is a cause for concern. Sometimes red eyes are a sign of a cold virus. You should rest, drink fluids, and take something for the fever. If you don’t get better or your eyes get worse, it’s a good idea to see a doctor.
