I've been having a mild fever around 99F, a stuffy nose, a little cough, and feeling a bit tired. I've been taking paracetamol and cozyplus for it, but I'm wondering if there's anything else I should do or if this is something to worry about?

I'm really confused about how to take albendazole, like Zentel 400mg, for deworming. I'm 36 years old and weigh 66 kg. How many days should I take it, and what's the right dosage?

For deworming in adults, the recommended dosage of Albendazole (Zentel 400mg) is: - Single dose: 400mg (1 tablet) - Alternatively, 400mg (1 tablet) once daily for 3 consecutive days

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;

I'm feeling a bit lost here. My physician has prescribed opox 200 for my common cold and fever, and Im not too sure if it's the right thing. Does this medication actually help with cold symptoms, or should I be considering something else?
