I've been dealing with this high cold for the past five days. The doctor gave me Augmentin, Zerodol P, and Betadine gel, but I'm still struggling with the cold. Sometimes I even get upper back pain and brief chest pain. What should I do?

It seems your cold might be lingering due to congestion or irritation. Keep taking the prescribed medicines, stay hydrated, and use steam inhalation to relieve symptoms. If the chest pain persists or worsens, consult your doctor again to rule out any complications.

My mom's been running a high fever for the last couple of days. The doctor suggested she take doxcef cv, dolo 650, and meftal 500. She's been on these meds for a bit now, but her fever isnt dropping below 102. Can we give her meftal two hours after she takes dolo? Any advice would be appreciated.

It's generally safe to alternate Dolo 650 and Meftal 500 for fever management, but they should be spaced out by at least 4 hours, not 2 hours. Since her fever is persistent, it might be helpful to contact the doctor again for further evaluation. Keep her hydrated and monitor her temperature regularly.

I'm experiencing a bit of a strange sensationwhenever I cough, I feel a slight pain in my chest bone. It's not with every cough, just sometimes. I don't have any allergies and I don't smoke or drink, so I'm really puzzled about what's causing this. Could you shed some light on it?

it might due to muscle streching during coughing

I've been advised by one of the doctors to take a multivitamin called az Ns tablet every day after dinner, and a vitamin D tablet once a month. I'm just wondering, is this really beneficial for my health, or should I be considering a different multivitamin?

Yes, once daily, you can take for 3 months. Excess vitamin will be harmful.
