I had runny nose , little fever , throat pain , headache and fatigue from 2 days then I took cetrizine and Augmentin 625 one tab each . Next morning I still have headache and nose is not runny anymore , is this right medicine or can u tell me what do I have and what medicine i should take
Female | 23
You might have a mild and harmless influenza if you experience these symptoms. A runny nose and sore throat are probably due to a virus. Augmentin is an antibiotic that fights bacteria but may be unnecessary if the main issue is a viral infection. Cetirizine can relieve allergy symptoms, though it doesn't address the cause. Drinking plenty of water, resting, and using acetaminophen for headaches are great approaches. If symptoms persist, it is best to see a doctor.

Please tell me what is wrong with me.
Female | 19
Your face acne could relate to an unhealthy diet. Trouble sleeping may result from stress or anxiety. Headaches might stem from not finishing your previous medication course. Stomach discomfort after eating could signal digestive issues. Feeling nervous and inability to concentrate may also link to anxiety. To improve, try eating healthier foods, managing stress levels, and resuming headache treatment. However, it's important to consult a doctor for personalized guidance and support.

Male | 40
Tudca and betaine HCL are both useful components. In addition, using them together could alter their effectiveness. Here's a clever way to do it: take tudca in the morning and betaine HCL with your main meals. By doing this, it will not distort the right one and you will receive the benefits of both. Just be aware of the dosages of both.

Female | 44
You could well have nasal obstruction that was a result of your recent pneumonia. I could suggest the Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist. In addition, despite these interventions, please do not forget to use the nasal spray as prescribed and indulge in activities that do not aggravate the obstruction of your sinus.
