I accidentally took a 500mg azithromycin tablet thinking it was an anti-allergic medicine. Should I continue taking it for the full 3-day course, or is it okay to stop now and not take any more?

How many cod liver oil capsules should I take daily in mg? Is there any risk of overdosing on them? Each capsule I have is 300mg, and I'm 19 years old. How many should I be taking every day?

take only 1 capsule per day never more than 2, high doses can sometimes lead to an increased risk of bleeding, especially if you are taking blood-thinning medications.

I've been feeling really cold and shivery, with no energy at all. I had a slight fever with dizziness starting around 2am yesterday. I'm also dealing with diarrhoea, and I tried taking Digene a couple of times, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. I'm worried and not sure what to do next. Could you please give me some advice on how to feel better?

digene is a antacid and it doesn't help much in loose stools.
