My dad was admitted about a week ago. His white blood cell count was 16,800, but it's normal now. However, the Widal test came back positive at 1:160. He's on treatment with Pipzo 4.5g injections, Pantop, Ns 500ml, Nurostar injections, and taking Calpol 650 and Cefuroxime 500 twice a day. Is this the right approach? I'm a bit worried and could use some guidance.

I've been feeling a bit under the weather with a cold and a slight fever. Is it okay to take Calpol 650 for this? Is it effective for these symptoms? Just want to make sure it's the right choice.
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.
