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.

I've recently tested positive for Covid-19 on April 28th and have thankfully recovered by now. I'm curious about what post-Covid tests or check-ups I should consider to ensure everything's back to normal. Could you guide me on this?

I'm a bit concerned about whether I need to complete the full 5-day course of Augmentin 625 if I'm already feeling better after just 3 days of taking it twice a day. Also, in the future, if I get mild cold and fever, is it okay to just use amoxyllin for 3 days instead of a longer course?

Bettr to take it for 5 days twice in a day and follow as adviced by your doctor
