Question 4

I'm dealing with fever, loose motion, and vomiting since this morning, and I'm feeling so weak I cant even make it downstairs to see a doctor. What could be causing this? Should I be worried and what can I do at home to feel better?

Accepted Answer

I recommend taking acetaminophen 500mg for fever, loperamide 2mg for loose motions, and ondansetron 4mg for vomiting. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention.

Question 5

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 ...

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.

Question 6

Does eating chicken raise uric acid levels? I'm worried it might, and I want to know if I should stop eating it. Can you help clarify this for me?

Accepted Answer

Rabeprazole*: A proton pump inhibitor (PPI) to reduce stomach acid.
2. *Amoxicillin*: An antibiotic to combat the H. pylori bacteria.
3. *Clarithromycin*: Another antibiotic to help eradicate the infection.

*Side Effects*

The loose motion or loss of control when passing stool could be a side effect of the antibiotics, particularly:

1. *Amoxicillin*: Can cause gastrointestinal upset, including diarrhea.
2. *Clarithromycin*: May also contribute to diarrhea or loose stools.

the dosage or recommend an alternative medication.
3. *Probiotics*: Consider taking probiotics to help maintain a healthy gut microbiome and alleviate diarrhea.
4. *Hydration*: Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated and manage loose stools.
