I've been dealing with a bad throat cough and mucus for a couple of days now. My doctor gave me Azee and Dolo 650, but I havent started taking Dolo yet and have only had two doses of Azee so far. My fever is still at 100 degrees. Is this normal for a minor throat and seasonal infection? How long is it expected to last?

View allI got a TT vaccine around 4 months ago, but the nurse gave it on my buttocks. Today, I got a small scratch from an iron wire while playing cricket. I'm worried if the vaccine still provides immunity since it was administered on the buttocks. Should I get another TT shot for this incident? Would love a detailed explanation.
Since you received the TT vaccine four months ago, it should provide immunity against tetanus for at least 3-5 years, even if it was given in the buttocks. A small scratch from an iron wire doesn't typically require a booster, but if you notice any signs of infection or develop symptoms like muscle stiffness or difficulty swallowing, seek medical attention immediately.

I'm allergic to penicillin, and I've been taking Augmentin 625, but I guess I need to find an alternative. Is there another good antibiotic that I could safely use instead? I'd love some guidance here since I'm a bit concerned about what my options are.
A diagnosis of Drug allergy needs formal testing in which small amount of the drug is injected into the skin over the forearm and we wait till any reaction develop to the drug like: Hypotension (sudden fall in BP) Tachycardia (fast heart beat ) Shortness of breath Rashes all over the body . Next Steps if you are truly tested as penicillin allergic then the answer to your question is erythromycin you can use it as an alternative to agumentin.

My dad is 59 and has diabetes. He's had a fever for the past 8-10 days and just tested positive for COVID-19. Though he hasn't had any breathing issues so far, his temperature has been normal for the last 36 hours. He takes Cetanil T every morning and Glycomet SR. Right now, he's very weak and has a dry cough. I'm really worried and don't know what to do next. I'm from Nimta, Kolkata. Could you please guide me?
