Hi,
Welcome to XXXXXXX
The medicals given by the doctor will help in curing the illness.
Zanocin and Rite o cef are antibiotics (compound or substance that kills or slows down the growth of bacteria). Zerodol for fever and body ache and montral is antihistamine and rantac will help in decreasing the acidity as these medication can cause mild acidity.
I advice you to take the medication as prescribed and to complete the course of antibiotic even if the symptoms subsides.
Hope I have provided the information you needed.
Wish you good health. Take care.
