I'm really worried and need some advice. I've been dealing with strep throat for about a week and a half, and my right tonsil is super swollen. I've also been getting pain in my ear. Last Thursday, they said I had a sinus infection, but they didn't check my throat for strep back then. I just started taking amoxicillin today, two doses so far, but after the first one, I took a nap and woke up with this chest pain on the upper right side when I breathe. Is this normal or something I should be concerned about?

it might be due to gastritis which is a side effect of Amoxicillin.

Can viral fever come back even if it's the same season? I had viral fever about a month ago but now my throat feels like it might be infected again. I did a five-day antibiotic course the last time I got sick. Is it possible that I could have viral fever again, and what should I do now?

yes take paracetamol and cetrizine tablet

I've been having these Covid symptoms since this morning and I've already done an RT PCR test. After talking to a doctor on Practo, I started on some meds. My Spo2 levels seem to fluctuate between 93 and 97 on my left index finger, but they read 97-99 on my right index. Is it normal for the oxygen levels to be different on each finger? What's the ideal range I should be looking for? And at what point should I be worried? My fever is currently at 101F.

ideal above 94 percent

I've been dealing with a cold, sneezing, and a constantly runny nose every day, which has been pretty frustrating. I recently tried the Pankaja Kasthuri Breathe Eazy syrup, and I noticed some improvement, which was a relief. I'm wondering if it's safe and effective to continue using this syrup for a longer period, and if so, do you think it's okay to order a couple more bottles? I'm just a bit concerned about whether it's addressing the root of the problem or just easing the symptoms. Any advice on this would be really appreciated.
