Have Headache And Feel Weak. No Medication Till Now. What To Do Now?
Yes Dr.
I am in Africa for the last 3 weeks - i was here one week prior to that - went home for 4 days and came back.
Insufficient Indian food (that i am used to) and less sleep, may be!
My head reels, feel week (even if delay my food intake by a few hrs).
I am male, 59, good health, not known for any other disease.
Kindly help me with some medicines that I could access in Abidjan (ivory Coast). I will be going home end of the week and would then go to a hospital.

Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic,
you are having headache and weakness and may be not able to adjust to food available there and fasting can trigger headache.
Please take care of diet as breakfast, lunch and dinner at proper time. You may have to adjust with bread,fruits and dry fruits and biscuits. and fruit juices and milk and milk products.
If you have stock of simple paracetamol with you may be taken if not then can search their as OTC product (Painamol) and see if it helps.
If headache and weakness is troublesome then you should seek medical help there only.
Hope this helps
Take care.
Good Luck.
Dr.Akhilesh Dubey M.D.
