No, it is not practical or medically advisable to get root canals on all your teeth. Root canals are therapeutic procedures used only to save severely damaged or infected teeth; performing them on healthy teeth is unnecessary, expensive, and weakens their structure. During the treatment, a local anaesthetic is used to numb the area. Afterwards, you will typically only need over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen to manage temporary soreness. Antibiotics are not routinely required and are only prescribed if there is an active, spreading infection. Please consult your dentist to discuss a personalised oral health plan.

After C1-C2 fixation, pain management and physiotherapy must be strictly guided by your neurosurgeon to protect the spinal fusion. Medicines: You will typically be prescribed scheduled acetaminophen and muscle relaxants. Avoid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs like ibuprofen) unless cleared by your surgeon, as they can hinder bone healing. Physiotherapy: Initially, your neck must remain immobilised (usually in a collar). Early therapy focuses on gentle walking, posture maintenance, and shoulder/arm movements. Direct neck exercises or physical therapy sessions should only begin after your surgeon confirms stable bone fusion through follow-up imaging. Always consult your surgical team before starting any new medications or exercises.

Yes, your symptoms of high fever, joint pain, and vomiting are classic signs of dengue fever. For relief, you should take Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) to manage the fever and pain. Crucially, you must strictly avoid NSAIDs like Ibuprofen, Aspirin, or Naproxen, as they can trigger severe bleeding in dengue patients. Focus on staying highly hydrated with water, coconut water, or ORS solutions to counter vomiting. Because dengue can quickly become severe, please consult a healthcare professional immediately for a blood test to confirm the diagnosis and monitor your platelet counts.

Since you haven't specified the name of your medication or the exact joint involved (hip, knee, or ankle), I cannot confirm if it is correct. Severe joint pain can be caused by various issues, including arthritis, gout, or ligament injuries, each requiring specific treatment. I strongly advise against changing your medication without professional guidance. Please consult a doctor or orthopedist for a proper physical examination and imaging, like an X-ray, to get an accurate diagnosis. For temporary relief, rest the leg, apply ice packs for 15 minutes, and avoid putting heavy weight on the joint.

To manage your symptoms, you can take Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) or Ibuprofen to reduce fever and body aches. For a runny nose, an over-the-counter antihistamine like Cetirizine can help. For a cough, use a suppressant like Dextromethorphan if it is dry, or an expectorant like Guaifenesin if it is wet. Multi-symptom cold formulas are also available, but ensure you do not double-dose on Paracetamol. Get plenty of rest, stay well-hydrated, and consult a pharmacist to choose the right products. If your fever persists for over three days or you experience shortness of breath, please seek in-person medical attention.

To help reduce your 102F fever and relieve body aches, you can take Acetaminophen (Paracetamol) 500mg or Ibuprofen 400mg. For your cough, an over-the-counter cough suppressant (for a dry cough) or an expectorant (for a wet, mucus-producing cough) can provide relief. Please prioritise rest and drink plenty of fluids. Since a high fever and cough can be signs of infections like the flu, COVID-19, or bronchitis, I highly recommend consulting a healthcare provider for an accurate diagnosis. Seek immediate emergency care if you experience difficulty breathing, chest pain, or if your fever persists for more than three days.
