I'm dealing with a viral fever, and while paracetamol is helping a bit with the fever, it only reduces the temperature for a short time. I'm wondering if there are any antibiotics I can take that might help more effectively. Any advice would be appreciated!

So, my friend's nail accidentally scratched me and now there's some blood. Should I be worried about an infection from this scratch?

If the scratch breaks the skin and draws blood, there is a risk of infection. It is important to clean the area thoroughly with soap and water. You can apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection. Keep the area covered with a bandage until it heals. If you notice any signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, warmth, or drainage of pus, you should seek medical attention.
