I understand how frustrating it is to deal with ongoing pain and dizziness, especially after a flu. It is very reassuring that your brain MRI was normal, ruling out serious structural issues. Since your symptoms started after a viral illness, you might be experiencing post-viral inflammation, persistent sinus congestion, or inner ear irritation. While the antibiotic Azee (azithromycin) treats bacterial infections, post-viral symptoms can linger for weeks. I highly recommend consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist. They can perform a targeted evaluation of your sinuses and inner ear to help find a treatment that finally brings you relief.

Will the Clamp syrup prescribed for my 8-month-old baby's ear infection also treat his new cough and sore throat, or should I use the Azee syrup he was prescribed last month, and how can I help ease his pain?

Please do not give him the leftover Azee (azithromycin) syrup, as reusing leftover antibiotics without a doctor's guidance can be unsafe. The Clamp (amoxicillin/clavulanic acid) currently prescribed for his ear infection might cover his new symptoms if they are caused by the same bacterial infection, but coughs and sore throats are often viral and won't respond to antibiotics. To help ease his pain safely, you can use infant paracetamol, but please consult your pediatrician for the exact dosage based on his weight. Offering warm fluids or breast milk and using a cool-mist humidifier can also comfort him. Please have him evaluated by his doctor.

What should I do if my fever has gone away after taking Azee 500 and Paracetamol 650, but my cough and headache are still there?

It is quite common for a cough and headache to linger for a few days even after the fever resolves, as your body is still recovering. Please ensure you complete the full prescribed course of Azee 500 (azithromycin) to completely clear the infection. You can continue taking Paracetamol 650 for your headache as needed, keeping a gap of 4 to 6 hours between doses. Rest well, stay hydrated, and try steam inhalation to soothe your cough. If these symptoms worsen or do not improve in 3 to 4 days, please consult your doctor for a follow-up.

Is it safe to take Richfeel Clinic's saw palmetto tablets and Azee 500 together?

Hello! I understand your concern about mixing these treatments. Fortunately, there are no known drug interactions between Richfeel Clinic's saw palmetto tablets and Azee 500 (which contains the antibiotic azithromycin). It is generally safe to take them together. To minimize any potential stomach upset, you might want to take them at different times of the day, perhaps taking your azithromycin with a meal. Please make sure to complete the full course of your antibiotic as prescribed by your doctor. If you have any other questions, I am always here to help. Take care!

Why have my bad cough and runny nose returned after completing a five-day course of Azee 500mg and Montec LC?

It is quite common for symptoms like a cough and runny nose to linger or return. This often happens because the initial illness might have been viral?which antibiotics like Azee (azithromycin) cannot cure?and symptoms naturally take up to two weeks to fully resolve. Additionally, stopping Montec LC (montelukast and levocetirizine) may cause allergy symptoms to temporarily reappear. Please rest, stay well-hydrated, and consult your doctor to see if you need supportive care or further evaluation.

Is it normal to still have a fever of 100?F after taking two doses of Azee without taking Dolo 650 yet for a seasonal throat infection, and how long will this fever last?

It is completely normal to still have a mild fever of 100?F at this stage. Azee (azithromycin) can take 48 to 72 hours to control the infection and does not directly lower fever. To help ease your discomfort, you can safely take Dolo 650 (paracetamol) as prescribed by your doctor, which is designed to reduce fever. Typically, a fever subsides within 2 to 3 days of starting antibiotics. Keep resting and stay well-hydrated. If the fever rises or persists beyond 3 days, please consult your doctor.

Can taking two different antibiotics (Doxcyp and Azee) on the same day, while also taking Dolo 650 and an extra painkiller, cause any immediate side effects or long-term damage to my liver or kidneys, even though my recent blood tests are currently normal?

Since your recent blood tests are normal, your liver and kidneys are currently in good shape, which is highly reassuring. Taking Doxcyp (doxycycline) and Azee (azithromycin) together is sometimes prescribed but can cause temporary stomach upset. The main detail to watch is the 'extra painkiller.' If it also contains paracetamol, combining it with Dolo 650 (paracetamol) can strain your liver. Additionally, some painkillers can affect your kidneys if taken long-term. To stay safe, please share the exact name of the extra painkiller with your doctor to ensure there are no overlapping ingredients, and drink plenty of water.
