Does wikoryl help to treat coldness and fever?
Patient: Hi Sir, I am suffering from cold and fever and i think it happened due to inhalation of lot of dust in my factiry,i am planning to take wikoryl 500 mg with ampoxin 500.So is the dosage ok or i should make some changes in it?My age is 26 years with weight 75 kg and height 174 cm. Doctor: HI, thanks for using healthcare magicYou can use the wikoryl which is an anti histamine and would help to reduce the allergic reaction but the ampoxin is an antibiotic and would only be effective in a bacterial infection.Colds are usually viral not bacterial so the antibiotics would not be needed for the normal common cold.A decongestant would help to reduce any nasal congestion. This can be oral or topical drops for the nose. Should be available at your local pharmacy.I hope this helps
