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.

View allI'm a 30-year-old guy and I've been dealing with this weird recurring fever thing for the past couple of years. Basically, every month or two I start feeling feverishsometimes there's a bit of a cold and a headache along with it. The fever isn't super high but it goes away with anti-pyretics after 4 to 6 days. At first, I thought it might be allergies but that doesnt seem to be the case. I've been to quite a few doctors and done tons of tests, but they just treat the fever and tell me there's nothing wrong. I'm kinda stuck and don't know what to do next. Could it be something thats just not showing up in the usual tests?

My father has been bedridden for over 15 years and developed bed sores on both buttocks in the last 5 years. We do daily dressings but now the sores are turning black. He's also had fever for the past 23 days. We're in Pune and not considering surgery since he's handicapped and can't move. Could you suggest a good doctor to treat this? Attached his haemogram report for reference.
Given the severity of your father's condition, with black sores and a prolonged fever, seeking professional medical attention is crucial. Since you're in Pune and not considering surgery, you'll need to find a doctor specializing in wound care or geriatric medicine.

I've been sleeping with the AC on and now I've caught a cold, cough, and even a mild fever thats been bugging me since yesterday. I want to know if taking Paracetamol would be a wise choice, or should I just wait for it to pass on its own? By the way, I just finished an antibiotic course last week after a tooth extraction.
Given your recent antibiotic course and current symptoms, it's essential to be cautious. Paracetamol can help alleviate your mild fever, cold, and cough symptoms. However, consider the following: _Paracetamol Precautions_ 1. _Dosage_: Take the recommended dose (500-1000 mg) every 4-6 hours, not exceeding 4000 mg in 24 hours. 2. _Liver health_: Since you've had a recent antibiotic course, your liver might be under stress. Paracetamol can also affect liver function, so monitor your body's response. 3. _Underlying conditions_: If you have any underlying medical conditions, such as liver or kidney disease, consult your doctor before taking Paracetamol. _Alternative Options_ 1. _Rest and hydration_: Focus on getting plenty of rest and staying hydrated to help your body recover. 2. _Warm liquids_: Drink warm liquids like tea, broth, or soup to help soothe your throat and ease congestion. 3. _Saline nasal sprays_: Use a saline nasal spray to help loosen mucus and reduce congestion. _When to Seek Medical Attention_ 1. _Fever escalation_: If your fever exceeds 102F (39C) or lasts for more than 3 days. 2. _Severe symptoms_: If you experience difficulty breathing, chest pain, or severe headache. 3. _Prolonged recovery_: If your symptoms don't improve within 7-10 days.
