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.

So, I took Taxim AZ 200 around 2 pm today and my friends are planning a party tonight. I'm wondering if it's okay for me to have some alcohol. What do you think?

I'm dealing with a runny nose and got Montair LC tablets for it, but now I've caught a fever. Is it alright to take Dolo 650 or another paracetamol along with it? Just want to make sure I'm not mixing meds wrong.

I've just gotten over typhoid and I'm out of the hospital now, but I'm still feeling super weak, especially from my chest down to my stomach. It's a really noticeable kind of weakness. Can you help me understand why this might be happening?

It's common to feel weakness after recovering from typhoid, especially in the chest and stomach area, as your body is still healing. The infection and treatment can take a toll on your energy levels, and it may take some time for your strength to fully return. Rest, proper nutrition, and hydration will help support your recovery.
