What Causes Fever, Cough And Body Pain While On Saridon And Combiflam?

Posted on Tue, 17 Oct 2017

Question: I have been having a feverish feeling for the last 3 days and it is starting to increase more. Cough seems to have accumulated since the last 3 days and my nose is getting blocked. Body pain has also started growing. Have had saridon and combiflam only yesterday ( morning and night) but does not look like it has helped. Need some advise on medication that i can use to cure myself.

Viral fever

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Based on your symptoms I suspect you to have viral cold. You can take Dolocold tablets twice daily for the same.combiflam may not help much.

Is there any antibiotic that i would need to take as well that will help me in recovering. I work in a voice process and dont have any leaves available except for weekends.Is there any alternative for dolo cold if it is not available?

Brief Answer:
No need for antibiotic

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing back.

Sorry for the delayed response.

Since it is a viral infection it will take its course. It may persist for a week or 10 days needing no antibiotics.

Symptomatic treatment is better approach.

If not Dolocold you can take COLDACT or SUMOCOLD twice daily.

Hope, I answered your query.
