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 tired and weak after doing any kind of work, and it's been worrying me. A couple of weeks ago, I had a constant low-grade fever and sore throat that lasted for 15 days. My doctor recommended a WIDAL test, and it came back positive. But for the last three days, I havent had a fever or sore throat. Im currently taking Crocin and Doxcefo as prescribed. I'm confused about whether I'm actually dealing with typhoid, because my symptoms seem to have disappeared except for this lingering weakness. Could it be something else, or is this typical of typhoid recovery?

My mom has dengue and took cetirizine two hours ago but hasnt felt any better yet. We have Allegra 120 at home. Is it okay to give her that now to help with the itching, even though shes already had cetirizine earlier? Just worried if it's safe to mix them so soon.
