I'm currently on Augmentin 650mg and have been taking it twice a day for the past 5 days. I'm almost fully recovered now, but I'm unsure if I should continue the course for 5 days or stretch it to 7 days. What's the best approach here?

I'm dealing with a common cold right now and it's really getting to me I've got a runny nose, a wet cough, and even a fever. I've been taking a few medicines: Azikem 500, Maxtra cold, Sumo cold, and Alex cough syrup. Do you think these are going to help me get better?

Question

I'm wondering if it's safe to take multivitamin tablets every day without checking with a doctor first. Also, is it necessary to do any blood tests before starting on multivitamins? Just a bit concerned about whether it's really okay to self-prescribe these or if there's something I should watch out for.
