Hi doctor,
Thanks for the reply.
The doctor had given one course of drips yesterday and he said he will give for today and tomorrow also.
But as this is a diwali festival time, can I travel today night to other place, it's one night journey?
Can I take tablets or other medications?
Thanks in advance.
