I'm dealing with a really bothersome sore throat after having COVID, and I'm considering taking Azithromycin 500mg. Should I be taking it once or twice every day? I'm just not sure what the daily dosage should be for an adult like me. Would love your guidance on this.

Your morning yellow urine is likely due to concentrated urine from overnight dehydration.

Drinking 5-6 liters of water daily is excellent, but consider having a glass of water before bedtime.

Consult a Nephrologist or Urologist to rule out any underlying kidney or urinary tract issues.

Also, address your digestion problems, as they might be linked to your urine color.

In the meantime, monitor your urine color and output, and keep your doctor informed.

A simple urine test (Urine Routine Examination) can help determine if there's an underlying issue.

I'm really worried because after my fever, I've been dealing with this abdominal pain. My doctor told me to take Seconil, but when I went to the pharmacy, they gave me something called Secnil instead. I'm just not sure if they're the same thing and whether it's okay to take it. Could you help me out with this?

Seconil is typically used as a tranquilizer and anti-anxiety medication. It is commonly prescribed for managing anxiety, stress, and certain psychiatric conditions. Secnil, on the other hand, is an antibiotic containing Ciprofloxacin. It is generally used to treat bacterial infections, including urinary tract infections, gastrointestinal infections, and other types of bacterial infections.
