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

I'm feeling a bit feverish on and off for the last three days, even though when I check my temperature, it's normal, around 96 to 98. I've also been taking antioxidants and multivitamins for a month now. Could there be a connection, or should I be worried about something else going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing intermittent fever episodes despite having a normal body temperature reading. This could be due to various reasons such as underlying infections or inflammatory conditions. Since you have been taking antioxidants and multivitamins for a month without improvement, I recommend you consult a doctor for further evaluation and possible testing

I'm experiencing loose motions and lower back pain, and it's making me a bit concerned. I've also got this tingling sensation in my toes and a slight headache that's been bothering me. To top it off, I haven't been able to sleep properly. I'm just wondering if all these symptoms are connected and what might be causing them. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
