Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello! I was prescribed Roxid-M (1 - 0 - 1 X 5 days) by a GP for a throat infection + cold like symptoms. I also have a congested left nostril and face area, along with a constant discharge from my left eye. I m now on the third day of my medication, and some diarrhea has started. Is Roxid the right medication for these symptoms? Should I complete this coarse (five days) of antibiotics, or stop at three days and then see an ENT doctor?
