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've been feeling really off since last year when I had a viral fever around August. While the fever went away, my skin has been feeling unusually hot ever since, like all the time, even though I don't have an actual fever. It's making me feel weak and constantly tired, and it's been going on for over a year. I've seen several doctors but haven't found any relief. What could be causing this and what should I do next?

Usually that's uncommon,check your body temperature with mercury thermometer,if it's normal you can neglect it,stay hydrated and maintain healthy lifestyle.

My dad's been dealing with a bad cough and cold, and the doctor prescribed Clavam 625mg for him, which I know has Amoxycillin. But I remember his urine test from two years ago showed he's resistant to Amoxycillin. Should I be concerned about whether this medication will actually work for him?

Tab azithromycin 500mg,orally,once daily for 3 days is advised to the patient.
