Calpol 650, which contains paracetamol (acetaminophen), is commonly used to relieve mild to moderate pain and reduce fever. It can be taken for cold and slight fever, as it helps alleviate discomfort and reduce fever. However, it's important to follow the recommended dosage and consult a doctor if symptoms persist or worsen.

I'm a bit concerned about whether I need to complete the full 5-day course of Augmentin 625 if I'm already feeling better after just 3 days of taking it twice a day. Also, in the future, if I get mild cold and fever, is it okay to just use amoxyllin for 3 days instead of a longer course?

Bettr to take it for 5 days twice in a day and follow as adviced by your doctor
