I'm dealing with a mild cold and cough, and I had a fever yesterday. The local doctor prescribed me Lizolid, but the pharmacy gave me Linezolid instead. I'm wondering if they are the same thing. Could you help me out here?

View allI'm really worried because I've been dealing with cold and fever for the past four days, and it's been on and off between 99 and 102. I saw a doctor and took antibiotics for three days, which helped me feel better in the mornings. But as the day goes by, my condition seems to worsen. The fever comes back, the coughing gets bad, and I feel extremely weak. I'm also dealing with a sore throat, throat dryness, and nasal congestion. On top of that, I can't seem to digest food properly, and either feel like vomiting or actually do. Can you tell me what I should do about this?
For the blood tests you mentioned, fasting requirements vary: - Vitamin B12: No fasting required - Vitamin D: No fasting required - CBC (Complete Blood Count): No fasting required - Thyroid function tests (TFTs): Typically, an 8-12 hour fasting period is recommended, but it's best to consult with your doctor or the laboratory for specific instructions. For hair fall problems, these tests can help identify underlying deficiencies or hormonal imbalances that may be contributing to hair loss.

I'm a bit concerned because my vaccinated dog bit me, and I started bleeding. I got my anti-rabies shot about 15 hours later, but the doctor gave me the injection on my butt. Some people are saying it should've been given on the shoulders instead. Does this mean my vaccination might not work, or should I be worried about it?
No need to worry, giving injection to the muscle is important let it be shoulder or butt.
