Question

I came down with the flu and had a really runny nose, so I took fexet D, but now my nose feels completely blocked and there's some chest congestion going on. I've started taking amoxil 500mg once a day since yesterday. Should I be worried about this combination of symptoms and medications? Is there anything else I should be doing to feel better?

It's common for decongestants like Fexet D to initially relieve nasal congestion, only to lead to rebound congestion; meanwhile, Amoxil 500mg (amoxicillin) is an antibiotic that may help with secondary bacterial infections, but may not directly address the congestion; consider adding a mucolytic agent like ambroxol or acetylcysteine to thin mucus, and consult your doctor to reassess your treatment plan, as the dosage and duration of Amoxil may need adjustment.

Question

I'm looking over my recent body checkup results and I'm a bit concerned. Could you help me understand what these numbers mean? For instance, my uric acid seems on the higher side at 7.2 mgdl. Also, I'm a 33-year-old male and I'm not sure if my SGOT and SGPT levels, which are at 96 and 161 Ul respectively, are too high. My blood glucose fasting is 118.0 mgdlshould I be worried about this? And my cholesterol-HDL ratio is at 5.93, is that within a healthy range? I'm also curious about the Absolute Lymphocyte Count, which shows as 52. Are there any concerning values here that I should pay extra attention to? Would really appreciate some advice on these results.

I'm feeling really weak and tired, and I'm having leg pain after my viral fever. The fever's gone after taking a 5-day course of medication like Dolo 650, Azee 500, and Allegra M. But now, whenever I walk around 200 meters, my legs hurt and I feel exhausted. Why is this happening, and what should I do about it?

Question

I've been dealing with a throat infection and I'm on mahacef 200. It's helping, but I'm still having a lot of sneezing and a runny nose. I tried cetrizine, but it's not really working for me. Is it okay to take cheston cold along with mahacef 200?
