Feverish since Aug 30; first measured Aug 31 (~99.7°F). Fever is my only symptom—no cough/sneezing. Paracetamol (Dolo) controls it, 1–3/day. I delayed seeing a doctor ~2 weeks due to an exam.
Doctor prescribed Sumo (paracetamol), Bencifix-500 (cefuroxime 500 mg) and Proveito probiotic twice daily for 5 days, plus CBC, malaria and Widal. CBC/platelets were normal; malaria and Widal were negative. Reports are attached. After 5 days, fever persisted, though milder. It returns the next morning/afternoon and improves after paracetamol.
Today the same doctor prescribed Sumo + Proveito + azithromycin 500 mg + ofloxacin 200 mg, twice daily for 3 days, without further tests. I’m concerned about repeated antibiotics, side effects/interactions, and whether this azithromycin dose is appropriate.
Is repeated empiric antibiotic treatment reasonable when the cause is unknown? Should further tests (e.g. blood/urine cultures) be done first? Could these antibiotics affect blood-culture results?
Based on my self-test, some of my test results appear to be elevated:
- Uric acid: 7.8 mg/dL
- SGPT (ALT): 87.6 U/L
- SGOT (AST): 47.6 U/L
What precautions should I take, and what should I do?
I go to the gym regularly. I also take supplements such as whey protein and creatine, along with a high-protein diet.”
My Vitamin B12 level is 78.31 pg/ml .. please suggest me what should I do . I have to take injection?
Hi Doctor, I’m a 20-year-old male and would like some guidance regarding a few symptoms.
For the past 7 days, I’ve been urinating quite frequently, around 8–9 times within 12 hours. Sometimes, even after urinating, I feel the urge to urinate again shortly afterward. I’ve also noticed that I’m more thirsty than usual and have been drinking water more frequently.
For the past 2 months, I’ve also been experiencing persistent fatigue/tiredness. My sleep doesn’t feel completely refreshing, even when I get what seems like enough sleep, and I often feel the need to take a ~1-hour nap during the day. I initially thought this was due to sleeping late,but the tiredness has continued even after I started going to bed earlier.
I’m also currently being treated for acne.My dermatologist prescribed Doxt-SL, which I’m taking as directed:Twice daily after food for 2 weeks
Then once daily 4 weeks.
Hello Doctor,
I have had a fever, frequent bowel movements, and excess gas/bloating for the last 5 days.
Stool: Frequent urge to go, but not watery (semi-formed/regular consistency).
Gas: Experiencing significant gas/bloating alongside the frequent urges.
Fever: Persistent; returns after Dolo 650 wears off.
Medicines taken: Dolo 650 and Loperamide (neither has resolved the problem).
Please advise on the right treatment
