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'm really struggling to manage this viral fever. I've been having a hard time sleeping because of the body pain. Can you recommend which tablets might help with this? And do you have any tips on how to lower the fever?

I was diagnosed with COVID on Tuesday the 20th and started the meds. I've been getting a fever every day since the 22nd, like every 20 hours or so. At first, I took Dolo, but on the 23rd and today, the 24th, I could only get my hands on Meftal 250 DT. I'm worried because it's an NSAID and I've taken it for two days straight. Will that cause me any stomach trouble? I'm trying to get Dolo again in the meantime. Do you think I should be taking any precautions?

it might be gastritis, start tablet pantop for 5 days , once a day

I've been dealing with typhoid for the past couple of days, and I used to take Tarivid 200 mg tablets for it. Now I can't find them anywhere in the market. What should I do? Are there any alternatives you would recommend? Do I need a prescription for them? Any advice would be really appreciated.
