I'm a little worried about cellulitis treatment. My partner has been on Augmentin 625 twice a day and Chymoral forte three times a day for the past three days. Should we be seeing a specific kind of doctor for this, or is a general practitioner okay? Also, do you think this medication regimen sounds right, or should we be doing something differently? Any advice would be super helpful.

View allI've had a throat infection and fever since the night of the 18th. I've been taking paracetamol and zifi 200, but as soon as the medication wears off, the fever comes back. Can you suggest what other medicine I should consider taking?
It seems like you may need a stronger antibiotic for your throat infection. I recommend taking Augmentin along with continuing paracetamol for fever. Additionally, you can try Betadine gargles for relief of throat symptoms. Remember to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed.

So, I was playing with my dog and he accidentally scratched my arm with his nail. It's just a bit red, nothing major. Should I think about getting a tetanus shot for this, or am I overreacting?
If the scratch is minor and the redness is slight, a tetanus shot may not be immediately necessary. However, if the scratch is deep or if your tetanus vaccination is not up to date (usually within 5-10 years), its a good idea to consult a doctor to be safe.

I'm feeling really stressed because for the past five months I've been having this constant feeling of my body being hot to the touch, but all my HIV tests have turned out negative. I've done the p24 test, the Western Blot, and the HIV PCR RNA Quantitative. It's really concerning me because I also feel like I have an internal fever. Could there be something else causing these symptoms or should I be looking into other tests? What steps should I take next?
It's important to seek help and talk to someone about what you're going through. In terms of the fever, if it has been persistent and you're feeling unwell, you may need to consider taking some medication to help reduce the fever. You can take Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for fever. However, it's crucial to address the underlying issues causing you distress. Please reach out to a mental health professional or counselor for support.
