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?

View allI'm feeling a bit worried because I had a sore throat and fever a while ago, and my doctor prescribed me Forenza 325mg, which really helped after five days. But now, just a few days back, my sore throat returned, so I went back to the doctor and got prescribed a combination of cefpodoxime and azithromycin. I'm really concerned about taking both together because I read online about potential drug interactions. So, I've only been taking cefpodoxime 200mg twice a day for the last three days, but I don't see any improvement yet. Is it safe to take cefpodoxime again even though I used it before? And do you know if there are any interactions between cefpodoxime and azithromycin? I'd really appreciate any advice on this.

I'm on chymoral forte three times daily and cynomycin twice a day, but I didn't catch when exactly I'm supposed to take them. Is it supposed to be before or after meals? And how long should I wait between eating and taking these meds? I found some info online saying chymoral forte is to be taken half an hour before meals and cynomycin two hours after meals. Does that sound right to you?
both medicine should be taken after food

Had a penicillin shot for syphilis in my lower hip about 5 days back. The pain was pretty bad for a couple of days but then got better. Now I've got this hard lump at the injection site. Theres no redness or irritation and it's not visible, but I can feel it when I touch it, it's hard and a bit sore. Tried using a hot compress but the lump's still there. Should I be worried about it?
The hard lump at the injection site is likely a localized reaction to the penicillin injection, which can cause inflammation, scarring, or granuloma formation; as long as there's no increasing pain, redness, or swelling, it's probably benign, but monitor the lump's size and tenderness, and consult your doctor if it persists or worsens, as they may recommend further evaluation or treatment, such as antibiotics or steroid injections.
