What should I do if I am on day 8 of a suspected viral fever and still feeling extremely exhausted, feverish, and achy, even though my COVID-19 PCR test, complete blood count, and vital signs are all normal, and I have been taking the prescribed Taxim-O antibiotic?

It is very reassuring that your vital signs, blood counts, and COVID test are completely normal. Taxim-O is an antibiotic (cefixime), which fights bacterial infections but is not effective against viral illnesses. This is likely why you are still experiencing symptoms. I highly recommend contacting your prescribing doctor to re-evaluate your symptoms and discuss whether to continue the antibiotic. For now, please focus on resting, drinking plenty of fluids, and using paracetamol to manage the fever and aches.
