What could cause a persistent fever of 101?F?103?F, eye burning, head heaviness, and a brown-tinged cough that have not improved after three days of taking paracetamol (Dolo 650) and cefixime (Zifi 200) twice daily?
A persistent fever and brown-tinged cough despite three days of paracetamol (Dolo 650) and cefixime (Zifi 200) suggest that the current treatment may not be targeting the right cause. This could be a viral illness, which does not respond to antibiotics, or a bacterial infection that requires a different medication. The brown-tinged sputum also needs evaluation to rule out a lower respiratory infection. I gently advise you to consult your doctor promptly. They can perform a physical exam, and perhaps order a chest X-ray or blood tests, to ensure you get the correct treatment.
