Question

I'm dealing with a sore throat and some loose motions right now and I'm a bit worried because of the current COVID situation. I'm considering taking azithromycin but I'm not sure if it's still recommended for these symptoms. Could you give me some advice?

Question

I'm feeling a bit worried because I had a sore throat and fever a while ago, and my doctor prescribed me Forenza 325mg, which really helped after five days. But now, just a few days back, my sore throat returned, so I went back to the doctor and got prescribed a combination of cefpodoxime and azithromycin. I'm really concerned about taking both together because I read online about potential drug interactions. So, I've only been taking cefpodoxime 200mg twice a day for the last three days, but I don't see any improvement yet. Is it safe to take cefpodoxime again even though I used it before? And do you know if there are any interactions between cefpodoxime and azithromycin? I'd really appreciate any advice on this.

Question

I'm feeling like I have a fever, but when I check my body temperature, it seems normal. I haven't got a thermometer handy right now. What should I do? Is there a specific medicine you'd recommend for this?
