I have had a high fever for the last 3 to 4 days and am not recovering despite taking Paracetamol 500 and Mox 500. Now I have developed rashes all over my body; what medicine or treatment should I take?

Please stop taking Mox 500 (Amoxicillin) immediately. A widespread rash combined with a persistent fever can indicate a drug allergy to the antibiotic, or a viral infection (such as Dengue or Mononucleosis), where Amoxicillin commonly triggers a rash. Do not take any more doses of this medication. You must consult a doctor or visit an emergency clinic immediately for a physical evaluation. Please do not self-medicate with other drugs. A physician needs to examine the rash, check the blood counts, and prescribe safe alternative treatments. Stay well-hydrated and seek urgent medical care.

I have had a cough for the past week and have not been able to sleep for the last two days. I stopped taking Mox 500 because it caused loose motions. What alternative medicine should I take for my cough?

Stopping Mox 500 (amoxicillin) due to loose motions is common, but you should not self-medicate with another antibiotic. Coughs are often viral, and antibiotics will not cure them. To soothe your cough and help you sleep, you can take an over-the-counter cough suppressant containing Dextromethorphan at night. Warm water with honey and steam inhalation can also provide relief. Please consult your doctor to evaluate your cough. If a bacterial infection is indeed present, they can prescribe a safer alternative antibiotic along with a probiotic to protect your stomach.

I have continuous sneezing and feel tired. Earlier, when I had similar irritation, I took Dolo-650 Tablet and Mox 500 mg Capsule. Which medicine is suitable for me now?

Your symptoms are likely due to an allergy or a viral infection. Mox 500 mg Capsule contains Amoxycillin (an antibiotic), which treats bacterial infections, not viral ones. You may take an antihistamine such as Cetirizine to relieve sneezing. However, it is best to consult your doctor to determine the exact cause and receive appropriate treatment. Avoid taking antibiotics without a doctor?s advice.

I have had a sore throat, mild fever, and body aches for the last two days, and my usual medication of Mox 500mg and Sumo Cold tablets is not working this time. Is it safe to take another antibiotic like Cifran 500mg along with these medicines?
