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?

View allI'm feeling kind of giddy and faint since yesterday. My blood pressure from our home machine reads 103 over 65 and my pulse is 91. I'm also taking care of a one-year-old and not getting enough sleep, waking up frequently. Could these symptoms be related to the lack of sleep, and are my blood pressure and pulse readings considered normal?
Your symptoms of giddiness and fainting feeling could be related to your low blood pressure of 10365. The dizziness may also be exacerbated by lack of proper sleep due to taking care of your one-year-old baby. It is important to stay well-hydrated and ensure you are eating regularly to help maintain your blood pressure. To address the dizziness, you can try increasing your salt intake slightly and lying down with your legs elevated when you feel dizzy. Additionally, you can consider taking medication like Fludrocortisone at a dose of 0.1-0.2 mg daily to help raise your blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with a mild fever, body aches, and loose motions for the last couple of days. It's not constant, but it does keep coming back. I took a couple of doses of Nicip, which helped for a while, but today the loose motions and fever are back, and I just feel really low on energy. What could be causing this recurring pattern, and should I be concerned about anything specific?
Could be a viral infection causing gastroenteritis. To help with your symptoms, you can take a combination of medicines. You can take Tab. Paracetamol 500mg for fever and bodyache, along with Tab. Loperamide 2mg for loose motions. Make sure to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids and consider taking ORS (Oral Rehydration Solution) to replenish lost electrolytes. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention.
