I'm dealing with a sore throat and I'm not sure what medicine would be best to take for it. Does Azithromycin work for a sore throat? I'd really appreciate some advice.

I'm taking this renerve plus tablet, and it's honestly so huge that it hurts my throat when I try to swallow it. I'm wondering if it's okay to cut the capsule in half and take it that way?

Yes you can take in that way.

So, for the past few days, I've been dealing with this cold and fever, and my body keeps shivering. I've already taken some tablets like Cheston Cold and Combiflam, but I don't see any improvement. I'm kinda worried about it. Can you tell me what I should do next?

You can take the same medicine and stay hydrated.

I'm curious if Buscopan can help with reducing body temperature. Would love to know more about this.

Buscogast, primarily containing Hyoscine Butylbromide, is designed to relieve muscle spasms and cramps in the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts, but it doesn't directly affect body temperature. Its mechanism of action focuses on relaxing smooth muscles and suppressing secretions, which doesn't inherently influence body temperature regulation.
