Question: Hi. I am a 27 year old male from XXXXXXX
A couple of days back i started getting headaches followed by fever. Next day in the morning, i was extremely weak with erratic fever and chest congestion due to cough. I was also breathless. i went to a doctor.
He prescribed me LANOL-ER (THRICE A DAY)
ZIFI CV 200 (twice a day)
SINUS 77 (HALF A TABLET THRICE A DAY)
After having these medicines, the fever has gone and weakness have reduced but my breathlessness have increased and food digestion has been affected. My chest is still heavy. I cant speak a sentence in one breadth.
Are these just side effects or these medicines are strong anti biotics which shouldnt be taken. How long do you think these problems will remain.
