My dad was admitted about a week ago. His white blood cell count was 16,800, but it's normal now. However, the Widal test came back positive at 1:160. He's on treatment with Pipzo 4.5g injections, Pantop, Ns 500ml, Nurostar injections, and taking Calpol 650 and Cefuroxime 500 twice a day. Is this the right approach? I'm a bit worried and could use some guidance.

View allI've been dealing with a normal fever, cough, and cold, and I'm feeling pretty weak. I've heard about a medication called 'oncet cf' and I'm considering taking half a tab three times a day. I also came across Clavam 375, which is 1 tab twice a day, and Dolo 650, half a tab twice a day. Do you think this is a good course of action for my symptoms? Are there any side effects or interactions I should be worried about with these meds?

I'm allergic to penicillin, and I've been taking Augmentin 625, but I guess I need to find an alternative. Is there another good antibiotic that I could safely use instead? I'd love some guidance here since I'm a bit concerned about what my options are.
A diagnosis of Drug allergy needs formal testing in which small amount of the drug is injected into the skin over the forearm and we wait till any reaction develop to the drug like: Hypotension (sudden fall in BP) Tachycardia (fast heart beat ) Shortness of breath Rashes all over the body . Next Steps if you are truly tested as penicillin allergic then the answer to your question is erythromycin you can use it as an alternative to agumentin.

I'm feeling some pain in my upper back and upper abdominal on the left side. It just started all of a sudden yesterday, and I notice it mostly when I'm moving around, picking up things, or even just laying down. I'm a bit worried about what could be causing this. Could it be something serious?
It sounds like you might be experiencing muscle strain or possibly an issue with the organs in that area, such as the spleen or stomach. If the pain persists or worsens, it's important to get it checked by a doctor to rule out any underlying conditions. Rest, gentle stretching, and avoiding heavy lifting might help in the meantime.
