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 dealing with a fever and cold for about five days, and now I'm feeling really nauseous with a bad backache and this constant weakness for the past three days. It's like I can't sit, rest, or even walk without feeling awful. Eating's been impossible, too. I also started my periods three days ago. Is this normal after having a fever, or should I be worried about something else going on?
