Question 1

I've been dealing with a high fever for three days, and it kept staying over 101 and even hit 103.5 at one point before dropping to 99.5 on the same day. I checked in with a doctor and was told to take Dolo 650 and Meftal Forte, which I did. But now, three days later, I'm still feeling super weak, sleeping around 18 hours a day. Some old muscle pains in my left hand have started up again too, which might be from being so weak. I've been taking Neromet, a multi-vitamin, and vitamin C tablets, but they're not helping much. Today I've noticed redness all over my body, which I think could be an allergic reaction to some medication since this has never happened before. What could be going on here?

Accepted Answer

Hi Sunil, it seems like your body is still recovering from the fever, which is causing the prolonged weakness and muscle pain. The redness could be an allergic reaction to the medication, and it's important to consult your doctor to rule out any severe reactions. Rest, hydration, and monitoring your symptoms closely are key; if the redness worsens or new symptoms appear, seek immediate medical attention.

Question 2

I'm feeling a bit confused. I had a fever just yesterday but its gone now. My doctor prescribed me Nicip Cold tablets for three days. Do I still need to take them even though Im feeling better?

Accepted Answer

genrally we advise to follow your doctor if the fever subsides and relived from symptoms you can stop the medications

Question 3

I'm allergic to penicillin, and I've been taking Augmentin 625, but I guess I need to find an alternative. Is there another good antibiotic that I could safely use instead? I'd love some guidance here since I'm a bit concerned about what my options are.

Accepted Answer

A diagnosis of Drug allergy needs formal testing in which small amount of the drug is injected into the skin over the forearm and we wait till any reaction develop to the drug like:
Hypotension (sudden fall in BP)
Tachycardia (fast heart beat )
Shortness of breath
Rashes all over the body .
Next Steps
if you are truly tested as penicillin allergic then the answer to your question is erythromycin you can use it as an alternative to agumentin.
