I'm currently COVID positive but don't have a fever or cough. My doctor initially prescribed Pratham 500, and later, I think he mentioned taking DOXT. Does that mean I should stop taking Pratham and switch to DOXT, or should I be taking both of them together? Can I take DOXT and Pratham at the same time? Im just a bit confused about the right way to go about this.

View allI'm dealing with a 103-degree fever and intense pain in my hands and muscles for the past three days. I also have a cold and cough but no vomiting or digestive issues, and my blood reports came back normal. I'm taking Dolo 650 every 4 hours, as well as Monocef 200mg, Rantac 150mg, and Ascoril syrup. My fever went down last night but came back this morning. Is there any way to get rid of this fever quickly? I'm really worried about what's causing it.
The symptoms you've described suggest you may be experiencing anal fissures, small tears in the lining of the anus. Hard stools can cause pain and discomfort, while softer stools may not exacerbate the issue. Consult a gastroenterologist or a proctologist for a proper evaluation and treatment.

I'm allergic to penicillin, and I've been taking Augmentin 625, but I guess I need to find an alternative. Is there another good antibiotic that I could safely use instead? I'd love some guidance here since I'm a bit concerned about what my options are.
A diagnosis of Drug allergy needs formal testing in which small amount of the drug is injected into the skin over the forearm and we wait till any reaction develop to the drug like: Hypotension (sudden fall in BP) Tachycardia (fast heart beat ) Shortness of breath Rashes all over the body . Next Steps if you are truly tested as penicillin allergic then the answer to your question is erythromycin you can use it as an alternative to agumentin.

I've been feeling feverish after drinking cold water, but when I check my temperature, it's normal. Internally, I just feel really sick, and my body hurts too. Any idea what's going on or what I should do about it? This just doesn't feel right to me.
Drinking cold water can cause a temporary condition called "cold stress," leading to internal feverish sensations, body aches, and general malaise, even without a raised body temperature; to alleviate symptoms, rest, stay hydrated with warm fluids, and consider taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
