I'm really starting to get worried because I've had this cough and cold for two weeks now, and it's not a dry cough. I've already gone through a whole bottle of Reswas syrup, but it didn't really do anything. I even tried taking Grillintus BM for a day, but I had to stop because I experienced some side effects. What should I do next? Is there something else I can try?

Considering your persistent cough and cold for two weeks, and unsuccessful treatment with Reswas syrup and Grillintus BM, consult me with detaoiled history to reassess your condition, as you may need a different medication or a combination of treatments, such as a mucolytic agent, expectorant, or antihistamine, and in the meantime, try symptomatic relief measures like steam inhalation, saline nasal sprays, and warm liquids.

View allI've been feeling really cold and shivery, with no energy at all. I had a slight fever with dizziness starting around 2am yesterday. I'm also dealing with diarrhoea, and I tried taking Digene a couple of times, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. I'm worried and not sure what to do next. Could you please give me some advice on how to feel better?
digene is a antacid and it doesn't help much in loose stools.

Can you tell me if it's safe to take four Tiniba 500 mg tablets all at once, since that adds up to 2000 mg? I'm just a bit worried about such a high dose.
Typical Doses: For infections, Tinidazole is often prescribed in doses like 500 mg twice a day or 1000 mg once a day depending on the condition. Possible Side Effects: Common side effects of Tinidazole can include nausea, metallic taste, dizziness, and headache, which might be more intense with a higher dose. If in doubt, it's always a good idea to clarify with your healthcare provider before taking the medication.
