I'm dealing with a sore throat and I'm not sure what medicine would be best to take for it. Does Azithromycin work for a sore throat? I'd really appreciate some advice.

I've been dealing with a cold and body ache for about a week now. When I got some blood tests done, they showed I have both Typhoid and Malaria. It's been tough, and I've been taking medication for the past three days, but I'm still not feeling much better. Another thing that's bothering me is this really dark yellow urine I've noticed since yesterday. Could this be because of the medicines I'm taking? Is this something I should be worried about?
Persistent Fever, Muscle Pain, and Headache _Possible Causes_ 1. _Viral infections_: Influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), or other viral infections can cause persistent fever, muscle pain, and headache. 2. _Bacterial infections_: Prolonged use of Augmentin (amoxicillin-clavulanate) without improvement suggests the infection might be resistant to the antibiotic or not bacterial in nature. 3. _Other conditions_: Autoimmune disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, can cause persistent fever, muscle pain, and headache. _Recommendations_ 1. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or an infectious disease specialist to reassess your symptoms and adjust treatment. 2. _Blood tests and imaging studies_: Your doctor may order blood tests (e.g., complete blood count, inflammatory markers) and imaging studies (e.g., chest X-ray, ultrasound) to rule out underlying conditions. 3. _Antiviral medication or alternative antibiotics_: Depending on the diagnosis, your doctor may prescribe antiviral medication or alternative antibiotics. 4. _Pain management_: Continue taking Paracetamol (acetaminophen) as directed for pain relief. 5. _Rest and hydration_: Ensure you're getting plenty of rest and staying hydrated to help your body recover.

I'm really concerned about my brother who was diagnosed with Dengue fever yesterday. His platelet count was at 110,000 the day before yesterday, but today it's dropped to 69,000. Even though he seems to be feeling better, I'm worried because the platelet count is declining. The doctor has advised us to keep him at home and rest with fluids like coconut water, but should we be thinking about admitting him to the hospital instead? I'm not sure if we should stick with what our current doctor says or maybe seek a second opinion. What do you think?
Platelet count dropping to 69K in Dengue fever is a cause of concern, especially if it continues to decrease. However, as long as the patient is feeling better than yesterday, it may not be an immediate emergency. It is important to monitor the platelet count closely and watch for any signs of bleeding or other complications. The doctor may have recommended medications like Paracetamol for fever and pain, as well as fluids like coconut water to stay hydrated. Additionally, it is important to get plenty of rest. One medication that can help in increasing platelet count is Carica Papaya leaf extract.
