I had cold, cough, and fever two weeks ago. I consulted a doctor who prescribed antibiotics (Amoxicillin 625 mg), Paracetamol 500 mg, and Ascoril cough syrup. After a week, the cold and cough continued with a runny nose, so he gave me some cold tablets for two days, which helped temporarily. Now, I am again experiencing severe cold, cough, chills, and a temperature of 97 to 99F since yesterday. Today, I consulted the doctor again, and he recommended some blood and urine tests. I have attached the reports. He is asking me to take IV therapy daily for four days along with more antibiotics. I shared my medical history, and he suggested getting a second opinion from you regarding this treatment. Should I continue treatment with him, or should I go to a bigger hospital? Please advise. Blood Report: WBC: 12,950 /cumm Neutrophils: 77 percent Eosinophils: 7 percent ESR: 36 mm/hr AEC: 905 /cumm Urine Report: Appearance: Cloudy Albumin: ++ Pus cells: 26 to 28/hpf Epithelial cells: Present in clumps

Report suggests infection, possibly urinary or systemic. IV antibiotics may be justified. If no improvement in 2 days, consult at a larger hospital.

My wife delivered a baby six months ago. For the past 15 days, she has been experiencing regular fever up to 102F, along with headache and body pain. We have tested for COVID 19 (RT PCR) and malaria, both of which were negative. We also consulted a gynecologist to check for any breast lumps, but none were found.

I had swollen lymph nodes measuring 1.2 by 0.7 cm in the posterior neck. The FNAC report is reactive. I have two blood reports, one from 27 February and one from 21 April. Is there anything I need to worry about? The node has been persistent for six months.
