Since it has lasted four days without improvement despite taking azithromycin, it is very important to see a doctor for an in-person evaluation. Because azithromycin is an antibiotic, it won't help if your infection is viral, such as mononucleosis, or if it is caused by a resistant bacterial strain. A healthcare provider can perform a quick throat swab to check for strep throat. To help you feel more comfortable in the meantime, you can gargle with warm salt water and take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen.

I strongly advise against taking leftover ciprofloxacin. It is a powerful antibiotic that is generally not the best choice for localized skin bumps, and using leftover medication can lead to antibiotic resistance. While ciprofloxacin does not have a major interaction with your fexofenadine (Allegra), a healthcare provider should evaluate the bump to prescribe the correct, targeted treatment. For now, please keep the area clean, avoid squeezing it, and apply a warm compress.

A brief pain in your upper left chest and back can sometimes be a mild muscle strain from coughing, but since you have asthma, we want to be very careful. Please continue taking your fexofenadine (Allegra) and aceclofenac (Zerodol) as prescribed, and keep your asthma reliever inhaler handy. Since chest pain during COVID-19 recovery requires caution, please consult your doctor for a quick evaluation.

The main reason it has not cleared is that Clobetamil G contains a powerful steroid (clobetasol) and an antibiotic, but ringworm is actually a fungal infection. Applying steroids to a fungal infection suppresses your skin's natural immunity, which allows the fungus to thrive and survive much longer. Meanwhile, Allegra (fexofenadine) only helps manage itching, not the infection itself. Using a strong steroid for eight months can also lead to skin thinning. Please stop using Clobetamil G and consult a healthcare provider to get a proper antifungal treatment to safely clear this up.

It is very common for children to have a lingering cough and mild sore throat after recovering from COVID-19. Since your son is already taking Allegra (fexofenadine) and Zincovit, please continue these as prescribed by his doctor. To help soothe his airway and ease the nighttime cough, keep him well-hydrated with warm fluids and use a cool-mist humidifier in his room. Elevating his head slightly while sleeping can also provide comfort. If his cough worsens, or if he develops a high fever or breathing difficulties, please consult his pediatrician promptly.

Yes, red spots on the legs can sometimes be associated with COVID-19, but they can also stem from circulation issues or other infections. Since fexofenadine (Allegra) did not help, it suggests these spots may not be a simple allergic reaction. I gently recommend having her evaluated by a doctor to find the exact cause before starting any new medications. In the meantime, please keep her comfortable, avoid scratching the area, and monitor her for other symptoms like fever or breathing changes.
