I've been dealing with a bad sore throat and a mild fever that's been coming and going for the last three days. It's pretty uncomfortable, and I'm starting to get worried. Someone mentioned trying diclomol, but I'm not sure if that's the best option. Could you suggest what medicine might help with these symptoms?

I'm dealing with this viral fever and taking dolo 650 for it. I'm certain it's viral, but I'm confused about whether I might need any antibiotics. Could you help me figure out if I should be taking any?

I'm curious about something that's been on my mind. I've had a pattern of catching a cold and fever twice every year, usually when the seasons change, like when winter starts and ends. My doctor always prescribed Azithromycin for it. The funny thing is, during the first year of the pandemic, I didn't get sick at all, but this year, I got the usual cold again. Now I'm wondering if it might be COVID instead of a regular cold since Azithromycin is still used for COVID treatments. Why are doctors now hesitant to prescribe Azithromycin without a COVID test done first? Is there a risk that I could build resistance to it, and it may not work if I really get COVID later, even though I've always completed my courses? I'm just trying to figure out if taking Azithromycin twice a year when I have a cold and fever is okay. Back in the day, my doctor didn't think twice about prescribing it. Why has the protocol changed?

I'm having trouble finding any Ebasil M tablets in stores. Can I use Ebast M tablets instead? What do you think?
