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'm going through a bit of a rough patch physically and am seeking advice. Recently, I've been feeling shortness of breath both when I'm walking and even at rest. My throat is dry and hoarse, maybe because of a cold? I'm really not sure. I've been feeling feverish, but my temperature is normal, and I'm experiencing body pains while feeling super sleepy all the time. I'm supposed to get my second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine soon, but with all these symptoms, is it safe to go ahead with the vaccine? Also, about 10 days ago, I accidentally ran into a closed glass door and got hurt on my forehead and nose. Although I didn't experience any vomiting, since then I've felt feverish and my eyes have been aching. I had trouble sleeping for a few days, so I started using clonazepam about three days ago, but I stopped two days ago, yet I'm still feeling overly sleepy. I need to get my second Covishield vaccine dose because I have to travel abroad on the 28th. I came to India on November 28th, and my RT-PCR was negative at the time. Could all these symptoms be linked to the incident with the door, or is something else going on that's causing the shortness of breath? Looking for some guidance.
you cannot take vaccine of you are having these symptoms

I'm feeling pretty worried about my platelet count, which is 4.94 lakhcumm. I've got a fever, runny nose, throat ache, body ache, and a headache too. Is this platelet count something I should be concerned about?
A platelet count of 4.94 lakhscumm is within the normal range, as typical platelet counts are between 1.5 to 4.5 lakhscumm. However, your symptoms of fever, runny nose, throat ache, body ache, and headache suggest a viral infection, which could be the cause of your discomfort. It is important to rest, hydrate, and consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and management.

I'm a bit confused about these medications. Is Pentids 400 mg the same as Erythromycin 250 mg in terms of their content? Should I be worried about taking either of them?
No, Pentids 400 mg contains Penicillin G Potassium, which is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, while Erythromycin 250 mg contains Erythromycin, which is also an antibiotic but belongs to a different class. It is important to note that these two medications are not the same and have different mechanisms of action. It is advisable to take them as prescribed by your healthcare provider to avoid any potential drug interactions or adverse effects.
