I'm having some trouble finding formitol tablets in Gujarat. Could you recommend any alternative medications that have the same ingredients? I'm a bit worried and would really appreciate your help.

Question

When is the right time to take Meftal Forte if you have a fever? How many times a day is it okay to take it? Should I only use it when I actually have a fever or is there another guideline to follow?

Question

I've been having this low-grade fever for about 10 days now, hovering between 99 and 100 degrees. I'm not noticing any other symptoms. What do you think might be causing this? Should I be worried?

I'm curious about something that's been on my mind. I've had a pattern of catching a cold and fever twice every year, usually when the seasons change, like when winter starts and ends. My doctor always prescribed Azithromycin for it. The funny thing is, during the first year of the pandemic, I didn't get sick at all, but this year, I got the usual cold again. Now I'm wondering if it might be COVID instead of a regular cold since Azithromycin is still used for COVID treatments. Why are doctors now hesitant to prescribe Azithromycin without a COVID test done first? Is there a risk that I could build resistance to it, and it may not work if I really get COVID later, even though I've always completed my courses? I'm just trying to figure out if taking Azithromycin twice a year when I have a cold and fever is okay. Back in the day, my doctor didn't think twice about prescribing it. Why has the protocol changed?
