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.

View allA rat bit me last week and I already got a TT injection along with an anti-rabies shot. I'm wondering if I should go for the other two anti-rabies injections or if I'm good since I'm not really feeling any pain where the scratch is. Is there another step I should be taking here?
Yes, Tryptomer (Amitriptyline) can cause heartburn as a side effect, especially when taken in the evening. Other possible gastrointestinal side effects of Tryptomer include nausea, dry mouth, and constipation. To alleviate nighttime heartburn, consider taking Tryptomer in the morning or with food. You can also try antacids or acid reducers, like ranitidine, to help manage heartburn symptoms. Consult your doctor or prescribing physician to discuss alternative dosing schedules or medications. They can help you balance the benefits of Tryptomer with its side effects.

I'm a bit worried because it's been 14 days since I tested positive for COVID, and while I haven't had severe symptoms, I've started feeling a little weak since this morning. Does this mean I'm out of the woods, or is there still a chance my condition could worsen from mild to critical after this period of isolation?

I'm a bit concerned because my WBC count came back at 11.6 this time, and last month it was 9.4. I had a slight cough when they did my blood work. Could that be causing the increase? Should I be worried about this?
A WBC count of 11.6 is slightly elevated, but it may not be a cause for concern, especially if you were experiencing a cough at the time of the test. Infections or even mild illnesses like a cough can temporarily raise your WBC count. Its a good idea to follow up with your doctor if you're concerned.
