I'm feeling really irritated because I've had a running nose and constant sneezing since last night. It's making it hard for me to attend my classes or even eat anything. The only medicine I have in my room right now is cetirizine. Is it okay if I take it?

I'm currently taking Dolopar 500mg, which includes PCM and 25mg caffeine, three times a day as prescribed by my MBBS MD doctor. However, my fever only seems to subside for about 4-5 hours after taking it. Is it okay for me to take it four times a day instead to keep the fever at bay completely?

No kindly consult your doctor one the prescribed dose is over n condition doesn't subside don't overdose

I've been dealing with a cold, fever, and a respiratory cough and the pharmacist suggested I take paracetamol and Novaclav 625, twice daily for two days. However, I've already taken it for three days now. I'm wondering, how many days is it safe or recommended to continue taking Novaclav 625?

Novaclav 625, a combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid, is typically prescribed for 5-7 days for respiratory infections, so taking it for only 3 days may not be sufficient to fully clear the infection,

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
