Can I take Dolo along with Almox 500 for my slight fever and cold? I'm already taking Cetirizine for the cold symptoms. Is that safe?

Safety Overview
It's generally safe for a 30-year-old female to take Dolo (Paracetamol 650 mg), Almox 500 (Amoxicillin 500 mg), and Cetirizine (10 mg) together for slight fever and cold symptoms, provided there are no allergies or contraindications.
Medication Purposes
a. Dolo (Paracetamol): Reduces fever and relieves pain.
b. Almox 500 (Amoxicillin): Antibiotic for suspected bacterial infections; not effective for viral infections like the common cold.
c. Cetirizine: Antihistamine for allergy-related symptoms such as runny nose and sneezing.
Important Considerations
a. Follow healthcare professional's directions.
b. Complete the full course of antibiotics if prescribed.
c. Avoid self-medicating if symptoms worsen or persist.
d. Inform your doctor about other medications or health conditions.
Seek Medical Attention
If you experience side effects like rash, difficulty breathing, or severe stomach upset, seek medical attention promptly. Consulting a healthcare provider is always the safest approach.

I'm worried because for the past 34 hours, I've been feeling like I need to sneeze, but I just can't seem to do it. It's leading to a headache. Why can't I sneeze, and how can I get some relief from this sensation and the headache?

it can be due to allergic rhintis

I've been having a fever for the past three days and it's really starting to worry me. On top of that, I've been dealing with some serious stomach issueslike a lot of gas and stomach achesover the last couple of days. Its all leaving me feeling super weak, almost like I'm having fits. Could you help me figure out what's going on and what I should do?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a gastrointestinal infection along with fever and weakness. I recommend taking Acetaminophen for fever (e.g. Tylenol) and Simethicone for excessive gas (e.g. Gas-X). Additionally, you can take an antacid for stomach ache (e.g. Tums) and make sure to stay hydrated. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention.

I've been dealing with this viral fever for the last two weeks, and I occasionally get these chills and a headache. Someone mentioned Gudcef cv 200 for this. Do you think it's okay for me to take it? I'm just a bit unsure about its usage for viral fever.

Gudcef CV 200 is an antibiotic containing cefpodoxime and clavulanic acid, effective against bacterial infections, not viral fever; taking antibiotics for viral fever won't help and may lead to antibiotic resistance; for viral fever, focus on symptom management with rest, hydration, antipyretics like paracetamol, and antihistamines for cold and headache;
