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'm really worried because my maid has been with us for the last 45 days, and she just called to say she has diarrhoea and a fever. Could it be COVID-19? She mentioned she walked home in the hot sun, drank cold water, and ate a lot of watermelon yesterday, and now she's just dealing with diarrhoea. Do you think all of us should get tested for COVID?
