I'm feeling kind of anxious because I've got mild COVID symptoms, and I have both Azithromycin and paracetamol at home. Is it safe to take them together? Could there be any risks?

Yes, you can take Azithromycin and paracetamol together for mild symptoms of COVID-19. Azithromycin is an antibiotic that can help with any bacterial infections that may be present, while paracetamol can help reduce fever and relieve pain. The usual dosage for Azithromycin is 500mg once daily for 3 days, and for paracetamol, the usual dosage is 500mg to 1000mg every 4 to 6 hours as needed. Make sure to follow the recommended dosages and consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns.

Question

I'm dealing with typhoid fever right now, and I'm really craving some pizza. Is it okay for me to eat pizza while I'm going through this, or should I avoid it until I'm better?

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with cold and fever for the past four days, and it's been on and off between 99 and 102. I saw a doctor and took antibiotics for three days, which helped me feel better in the mornings. But as the day goes by, my condition seems to worsen. The fever comes back, the coughing gets bad, and I feel extremely weak. I'm also dealing with a sore throat, throat dryness, and nasal congestion. On top of that, I can't seem to digest food properly, and either feel like vomiting or actually do. Can you tell me what I should do about this?

I've had a fever for the past three days and I've been taking Metacin. Every time I take it, the fever goes down, but it keeps coming back after a few hours. I'm getting worried and not sure what to do. Could it be something serious or am I handling it right?
