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.

Question

I've been having some health issues lately. A few days ago, I started coughing at night, and by next morning, my body was hurting, and I had a fever. I've been taking CLAVAM 625 and Calpol, and luckily, the fever's gone down. But now I've got this gas problem, my stomach feels upset, and sometimes I feel like I might puke. Oh, and by the way, Ive already taken 5 tablets of Clavam. Do I really need to take 10 in total?

Question

I'm feeling a bit stuck because my doctor recommended Mebex Plus tablets for me, but I can't seem to find them in any pharmacies nearby. Is it okay if I just take regular Mebex instead?

Question

I'm dealing with a cold and wondering if it's alright to take Montek LC for about 5 days. Should I also be taking an antibiotic like Azithromycin 500mg or Ceftum 500mg for 3 days along with it?
