I came down with the flu and had a really runny nose, so I took fexet D, but now my nose feels completely blocked and there's some chest congestion going on. I've started taking amoxil 500mg once a day since yesterday. Should I be worried about this combination of symptoms and medications? Is there anything else I should be doing to feel better?

It's common for decongestants like Fexet D to initially relieve nasal congestion, only to lead to rebound congestion; meanwhile, Amoxil 500mg (amoxicillin) is an antibiotic that may help with secondary bacterial infections, but may not directly address the congestion; consider adding a mucolytic agent like ambroxol or acetylcysteine to thin mucus, and consult your doctor to reassess your treatment plan, as the dosage and duration of Amoxil may need adjustment.

I'm really worried about my dad. He just spent the past week dealing with a bad cough, cold, and viral fever, and his temperature even got up to 102.4 degrees. Now hes feeling super weak, dizzy, and a bit nauseous. What should we do about this?

Your father's symptoms of weakness, dizziness, and nausea could be due to post-viral fatigue. To help him feel better, he can take Paracetamol for fever and body aches. He can also take Ondansetron for nausea. Additionally, it is important for him to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If his symptoms persist or worsen, he should seek medical attention.
