I'm dealing with a cold and wondering if it's alright to take Montek LC for about 5 days. Should I also be taking an antibiotic like Azithromycin 500mg or Ceftum 500mg for 3 days along with it?

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.

yes

I've noticed some white spots in the back of my throat and it's been feeling pretty scratchy. I'm worried it might be strep throat. I've already taken some Ibuprofen to ward off a fever, but I'm still unsure if it's really strep. What should I do next?

consult special st for examination of throat
