I'm a bit concerned about whether I need to complete the full 5-day course of Augmentin 625 if I'm already feeling better after just 3 days of taking it twice a day. Also, in the future, if I get mild cold and fever, is it okay to just use amoxyllin for 3 days instead of a longer course?

Question

I always seem to start shivering and my body shakes whenever I'm in an AC room or in places with low temperatures. The people around me don't react the same way. It's kind of worrying. What should I do?

Question

I'm dealing with a fever that comes and goes. Whenever I take antibiotics, it disappears, but then I experience sweating and feel back to normal except for being really exhausted. This has been happening for about 30 hours now. Do you have any idea what's going on? Should I be worried?

Question

I'm really concerned because I had the first symptoms of COVID back on May 7th, and while I had mild symptoms like occasional moderate fevers and a cough for over 10 days, I've mostly recovered now. However, I still get a mild cough and sometimes my temperature goes up to around 99 degrees, but it happens only once every three days or so, usually at night and it's better by morning. Is this something I should be worried about? Sometimes thinking about it reminds me of long COVID and all the scary stories I've heard about people having serious issues even months later. I have a history of cardiophobia which was under control until I got COVID, and now those anxious thoughts about heart attacks and strokes are creeping back again. Could this be related or should I just brush it off?
