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.
