I took three pills of Curam which has 875mg of amoxicillin, hoping it would help with my cold. But then I realized maybe I shouldn't have taken them, and now I'm dealing with some bad headaches. Should I keep taking the antibiotic or stop completely?

It is not recommended to continue taking the antibiotic without proper medical advice, especially if you are experiencing headaches. I would advise you to stop taking the antibiotic and consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and guidance on the appropriate treatment for your cold and headaches.

I'm getting anti-rabies shots at a government hospital because I was a bit worried that my friend's month-old puppy might have scratched me. The scratch was small, but I'm taking precautions and getting vaccinated. So far, I've had three shots, with two more to go. They're doing it hypodermally with an insulin syringe instead of intramuscularly. I received the last shot on September 2nd, and I've noticed a little swelling each time. But today, there's a noticeable bumpy swelling at the injection site, about 1cm in diameter, and it feels like a tight mass when I press on it. I tried massaging it with ice, but I'm still concerned. Do you think this is something to worry about?

As its given intradermally that swelling wpould appear but will subside on its own dont massage it.

I've been dealing with this fever for over a week and already consulted a doctor. They had me do a Widal test, and the results were at S. Thphi O 1160, S. Thphi H 1160, S. Para thphi AH 180, and S. Para thphi BH 180, with the malaria parasite being negative. After the consultation, I was prescribed Taxim 200, Paracetamol 650, Femotodine 40, and Pan 40 to take for seven days. Now that I've completed the course, I'm still experiencing full body aches, a burning sensation in my stomach, a low-grade fever, and symptoms of dehydration and anxiety. I'm really worried and not sure what to do next. Should I take the medication again or consult the doctor another time? My diet mainly includes rice with buttermilk, fruits, and milk. What would you suggest?

I've been feeling really feverish and exhausted lately, but every time I measure my temperature, it shows as normal. I'm a bit confused about what could be causing this. Could there be a reason for these symptoms even if my temperature is okay? What should I consider checking or doing next?
