I've been taking mefenamic acid and co-amoxicillin for my tonsillitis, and it's been four days. The pain and swelling in my tonsils have gone down a lot. I'm wondering if it's okay to stop the mefenamic acid now and just continue with the co-amoxicillin?

Antibiotics typically eliminate the infection in about 10 days. Symptoms usually improve within 2 or 3 days after starting antibiotics. so continue treatment as advised by your doctor

Ive been noticing that throughout the day, my palms and feet feel really hot, and other people have even remarked on how warm they get when they touch them. Could you let me know what might be causing this and if theres any treatment I should consider?

You may have an highly active metabolism which can result in feeling hot internally. You should however opt to get a panel of tests done in order to rule out specific illnesses. Recommended tests include CBC, HbA1C, TFT, RFT and LFT. If these reports are normal, there should be no cause for concern.

I'm trying to understand if azithral 250mg and azithral 250mg DT are the same thing. If I run out of azithral 250mg DT, is it okay to switch to azithral 250mg, or are they different enough that I should stick with the DT version?

both are same , you can use either of it
