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 unwell since yesterday with symptoms like a headache, fever, and loose motions. There's also this intense pain in my stomach, and it's making me feel really weak. Could you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do to feel better?

For your symptoms, you can take Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg for headache and fever. For loose motions, you can take Loperamide 2mg. Additionally, you can take Omeprazole 20mg for stomach pain. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest.
