I'm dealing with a cough and cold that have been bothering me for a few days now. It feels like the cough is really stuck in my chest. Could you tell me who I should see about this? Im also curious about how much the treatment might cost.

View allI've noticed some swelling in my armpits recently, and when I press in, I can feel some tissue and nerves. Could you help me understand what's going on and how I might be able to reduce it? I'm really hoping to get things back to normal.
Feeling feverish for 3-4 days, despite consulting a doctor, can be concerning. It's essential to revisit your doctor or consider a second opinion to rule out any underlying conditions. In the meantime, here are some possible reasons why your fever persists: - *Infections*: Bacterial or viral infections, such as the flu, can cause persistent fever . - *Anxiety or stress*: Stress and anxiety can cause feverish symptoms, including a feeling of warmth or chills . - *Underlying medical conditions*: Certain conditions, like hypothyroidism, hypoglycemia, or kidney stones, can cause persistent fever . To manage your symptoms, make sure to: - *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of fluids, such as water, clear broths, or electrolyte-rich beverages . - *Rest*: Get plenty of rest to help your body recover . - *Monitor your temperature*: Keep track of your temperature and report any changes to your doctor.

I'm feeling like I have a fever, but when I check my body temperature, it seems normal. I haven't got a thermometer handy right now. What should I do? Is there a specific medicine you'd recommend for this?
If you're experiencing internal feverish sensations without a raised body temperature, you can try taking Paracetamol (Crocin, Calpol, or equivalent) 500mg-1000mg, but if symptoms persist or worsen, consult a doctor to rule out underlying conditions that may require specific treatment.

I'm a bit confused about these medications. Is Pentids 400 mg the same as Erythromycin 250 mg in terms of their content? Should I be worried about taking either of them?
No, Pentids 400 mg contains Penicillin G Potassium, which is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, while Erythromycin 250 mg contains Erythromycin, which is also an antibiotic but belongs to a different class. It is important to note that these two medications are not the same and have different mechanisms of action. It is advisable to take them as prescribed by your healthcare provider to avoid any potential drug interactions or adverse effects.
