I'm feeling pretty rough since last night with this body ache. Now it's morning, and I'm dealing with the body ache, plus a headache and a slight fever. What medicine can I take to help? I want to mention that I'm allergic to floxacin.

-You can take paracetamol (500 mg) to reduce the fever, headache, and body acheone tablet every 68 hours as needed. Stay hydrated and rest. Since you're allergic to floxacin, avoid antibiotics without a doctor's consultation.

I was supposed to take my azifast 500 pill before dinner, but I ended up missing that and took it after eating instead. Could this lead to any side effects?

Taking Azifast 500 (azithromycin) after dinner instead of before is unlikely to cause significant side effects

I've been taking dolo 650 for the last couple of days because my fever isn't going below 100 degrees. Is it okay if I take two dolo 650 tablets at once, or should I be considering something else since it's been persistent for 2 days? I'm really just looking for some guidance on how to get better.

It's generally not recommended to take two Dolo 650 tablets at once, as it could lead to an overdose of paracetamol. If your fever persists, it's best to consult a doctor to determine the appropriate treatment or dosage for your situation. Make sure to stay hydrated and rest well!
