I just realized I drank water from a glass that had a mosquito floating in it. I'm kind of worried because I ended up swallowing it. Can you let me know what I should do next?

Question

I'm dealing with a cold and wondering if it's alright to take Montek LC for about 5 days. Should I also be taking an antibiotic like Azithromycin 500mg or Ceftum 500mg for 3 days along with it?

I'm really worried because I've been having this fever that just won't go away. I had it originally on February 10th, took some medicine, and felt okay, but then it came back on the 19th, and even after seeing a doctor and taking the prescribed meds, the fever's still hovering around 100F or 101F. I even had some tests done like the Typhidot Igm and blood cultures which came back negative, and my CBC was normal, but the fever didn't stop. I was put on TaximO and Calpol 500, which seemed to help for a bit, but after three days, the fever returned. Now, with my regular doctor unavailable, I switched to another one who ran more tests like the thyroid panel and CRP, and turned out the CRP is positive. They also found my bilirubin to be a bit high and ALT levels at 79. The new doctor's prescribed Dolo 650 and Pantocid, and I'm noticing that the fever goes down after taking paracetamol, but it just comes back after a few hours. What's going on with me? Is there something serious causing the fever to keep coming back?

Question

I'm a bit confused about the differences between Albendazole and Mebendazole. Is it safe to take them both at the same time, or should they be taken separately? I'm just trying to make sure I do this right. What would you advise?
