Question 1

I came down with the flu and had a really runny nose, so I took fexet D, but now my nose feels completely blocked and there's some chest congestion going on. I've started taking amoxil 500mg once a day since yesterday. Should I be worried about this combination of symptoms and medications? Is there anything else I should be doing to feel better?

Accepted Answer

It's common for decongestants like Fexet D to initially relieve nasal congestion, only to lead to rebound congestion; meanwhile, Amoxil 500mg (amoxicillin) is an antibiotic that may help with secondary bacterial infections, but may not directly address the congestion; consider adding a mucolytic agent like ambroxol or acetylcysteine to thin mucus, and consult your doctor to reassess your treatment plan, as the dosage and duration of Amoxil may need adjustment.
