Is it safe and appropriate to give my husband Mox 500 (Amoxicillin) in addition to the prescribed Dolo 650 (Paracetamol) to treat his high fever?

Do not give him the Amoxicillin (Mox 500) without a doctor's consultation. Amoxicillin is an antibiotic and only works against bacterial infections; it will not help if his fever is caused by a virus. Using antibiotics unnecessarily can also lead to unwanted side effects. It is safe to continue giving him the prescribed Paracetamol (Dolo 650) as directed for his fever. Please keep him hydrated, and I highly recommend consulting his doctor to determine the exact cause of his fever before starting any antibiotic.
