As you are suffering form a probable infection with fever, you need to start antibiotic asap. Amoxi-Clav combination is good but may cause diarrhea in some patients. Also meftal-spas is a smooth muscle relaxant for abdominal pain and not the ideal drug for fever management. YOu may take paracetamol (625mg) instead on SOS basis. Get Well soon!!
