I'm sorry to hear that you've been experiencing a high fever and dry cough for 10 days. A fever of 104°F (40°C) lasting this long, especially with a persistent cough, is concerning and requires prompt medical evaluation.

Here are some important points and recommendations:

• Antibiotic Use: You took Amoxyclav (amoxicillin-clavulanic acid) for 3 days. This antibiotic treats bacterial infections but is not effective against viral infections like the flu or COVID-19. Also, a short 3-day course may be insufficient for bacterial infections, and incomplete treatment can lead to resistance.

• Current Medication: Meftal-500 (usually a pain reliever/anti-inflammatory) does not treat infections or fever causes.

• Next Steps:

  • You should see a doctor urgently, preferably a pulmonologist or an infectious disease specialist, for a thorough examination.
  • They may need to perform tests such as chest X-ray, blood tests, or swabs to identify the cause of your symptoms.
  • Based on findings, appropriate treatment can be started, which may include a different antibiotic, antiviral, or supportive care.
  • If you experience difficulty breathing, chest pain, confusion, or worsening symptoms, seek emergency care immediately.

Please do not self-medicate further without professional guidance. Persistent high fever and cough can indicate serious infections like pneumonia or other conditions that need medical attention.

If you feel very unwell or symptoms worsen, consider visiting the emergency department or calling emergency services.
