Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have been uncertain about whether I have HIV as I experience flu-like symptoms intermittently. However, I have never had a sore throat or swollen nodes. I do not feel fatigued, and the mucus is usually thick whenever I cough. Please help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have read your query and can understand your concern.
Based on your symptoms of a productive cough, it seems you may have an upper respiratory tract infection. I want to emphasize that I do not suspect HIV (human immunodeficiency virus).
I suggest you the following medication regimen:
Tablet Acetaminophen 500 mg, to be taken orally, three times a day.
Tablet Metronidazole 400 mg, to be taken orally, three times a day.
Capsule Co-Amoxiclav 625 mg, consisting of Amoxicillin 500 mg and Clavulanic acid (as Potassium clavulanate) 125 mg, to be taken orally twice a day.
Tablet Ketoconazole 200 mg, to be taken orally, once daily.
Tablet Acyclovir 800 mg, to be taken orally, once daily.
I hope this helps. Consult your doctor and take the medicines.
Revert in case of other queries.
Thank you.
