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.

Is there anything I should be worried about with my lymphocytes count being a little high at 43? I recently had a blood test done and it showed that my HIV duo test was non-reactive, which I did on March 1st. Right now, I'm taking medication for a fungal infection. I've been having some itching in certain areas, but there are no rashes, although it sometimes turns red after I scratch. Should I be concerned about these changes or is it just the medication working?
