I'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.

I'm genuinely concerned about whether I should be taking Zenflox 200 as my doctor recommended. I had a fever and was feeling extremely cold due to the weather last night, but I'm feeling a bit better today. I noticed my urine is darker yellow though. The doctor said I have low BP and advised me to take ORS water along with Calpol for the fever. I looked up Zenflox 200 online and saw some potential side effects, which worries me. I don't have any stomach pain, mucus, cold, or coughjust the fever. What do you think?

Its good that your doctor assessed your condition. Zenflox-200 (Ofloxacin) is typically prescribed for bacterial infections, so if you dont have symptoms suggesting an infection (like stomach issues or mucus), you might want to discuss with your doctor whether its necessary. Meanwhile, stay hydrated with ORS and continue Calpol for fever.
