I'm taking szetalo plus 12 every day as prescribed by my doctor, and now they've told me to start azithromycin for a different issue. Is it okay for me to use both these medications at the same time? Just making sure its safe to combine them.
It's generally safe to take Sztalo Plus (a combination of Ambroxol, Guaifenesin, and Terbutaline) and Azithromycin together, as there are no significant interactions between them

I'm just dealing with a fever right now and noticing it's getting better after taking Dolo. Should I stick with this or maybe think about getting a blood test done? What do you suggest?
you're experiencing fever that's responding to Dolo (Paracetamol), you can continue taking it as directed. However, consider the following: *General Guidance* 1. *Monitor fever*: Keep track of your temperature and watch for any signs of fever returning or worsening. 2. *Dolo dosage*: Ensure you're taking the recommended dose (500-1000 mg every 4-6 hours) and not exceeding the maximum daily limit (4000 mg). 3. *Duration*: If fever persists beyond 3-4 days or worsens, seek medical attention. *Blood Test Considerations* Consider a blood test if you experience: 1. *Severe headache* 2. *Confusion or disorientation* 3. *Difficulty breathing* 4. *Severe abdominal pain* 5. *Vomiting or diarrhea* 6. *Fever above 103F (39.4C)* 7. *Fever lasting more than 4 days*
