I've been wondering about something regarding my husband's medication. He was given Becosule Z to treat his mouth ulcers, and it's helped a lot since they're all cleared up now. But I'm curious, is it alright if he continues taking Becosule Z as a multivitamin for a while? Is it safe to keep using it longer term?

I've been dealing with this viral fever for the last two weeks, and I occasionally get these chills and a headache. Someone mentioned Gudcef cv 200 for this. Do you think it's okay for me to take it? I'm just a bit unsure about its usage for viral fever.
Gudcef CV 200 is an antibiotic containing cefpodoxime and clavulanic acid, effective against bacterial infections, not viral fever; taking antibiotics for viral fever won't help and may lead to antibiotic resistance; for viral fever, focus on symptom management with rest, hydration, antipyretics like paracetamol, and antihistamines for cold and headache;
