Is Amoxicillin Necessary for a Non-Bacterial Infection?
I have been having high fever for a few days and yesterday, I visited the doctor. From my blood test, he explained that I don't have a bacterial infection since my Neutrophils level is within the normal range. However, he did prescribe me the antibiotic amoxicillin and today I found out amoxicillin is used to treat bacterial infections. I have already had 4 out of the 21 doses prescribed. I am aware that I need to complete all doses for antibiotics. I want to get a second opinion on whether this antibiotic will really be beneficial for me as right now, I'm just experiencing a lot 9f nausea

You need to finish the whole course of antibiotics prescribed to you. Even if the levels of your Neutrophil are in normal averages, your doctor may have placed you on amoxicillin as a preventive measure. If you experience too much sickness or any other concern with your drug intake, it is better to see your doctor or infectious specialist.

Male | 39
Diagnosed diabetic patients often have poor results getting control of their blood sugar levels despite taking the drugs . Besides ensuring that all the patients take medication rightly, it may also be necessary to change both dosage and type of drug prescribed. You should seek the advice of a Doctor in order to properly assess and address all your husband’s conditions, including diabetes and thyroid problems.

Male | 22
The hot bath and Preparation H cream you are using may provide some relief but you should be aware that bleeding is not a usual cause of hemorrhoids. I advise you to see a specialist, a gastroenterologist, who knows how to diagnose and treat your condition properly. If you have any rectal blood loss symptoms, you should consult a doctor as soon as possible.

The normal initial tests and reduced CRP levels indicate progress. However, alternating symptoms suggest a possible viral infection. Consulting your doctor for further assessment could provide clarity.

1.Can I wash my hair and bath in dengue If yes then by cold or hot water 2.from the end of third day my pain goes away and fever also not happen in dengue is it a miracle to recover in 3 days
Female | 23
Washing hair and bathing with lukewarm (not too hot/cold) water is fine if you have dengue. Three days without fever or pain might mean you're improving. High fever, awful muscle/joint aches, rashes - typical dengue signs. Rest up, hydrate, and check with a doctor if concerned.

Hello Can you advise me what to do with my test results and interpret them Low iron serum 22 Low folic acid 1.95 Low serum creatinine 0.56 High non hdl 184 High ldl 167
Female | 44
Your iron level in your blood is deficient, possibly causing tiredness and lack of strength. The folic acid measurement is also low, potentially resulting in fatigue and weakened immunity. Additionally, heightened non-HDL and LDL readings could raise the risk of cardiovascular issues. To address this situation, try incorporating more iron-packed and folic acid-rich foods into your diet.

A fever can be a sign that your immune system is fighting an infection such as a cold or the flu which are common viruses. A lot of fluid intake, a lot of rest, and acetaminophen or ibuprofen for fever reduction are all necessary. If the fever persists for more than a few days or if you develop other symptoms, it is crucial to seek medical attention.
