Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query in HealthcareMagic,

If I was your treating physician, I would prescribe an antibiotic at this stage. I would prefer:

- Take T. Amoxicillin and clavulinic acid combination twice daily for 5 days.
As this is a prescription drug, you are required to get it prescribed by a doctor in your local area.

- Also you may continue taking T. PANADOL for fever, thrice daily or whenever required.

- Drink plenty of fluids preferably warm liquids.

- Consume meals which are less spicy and oily.

I hope this helps,

Please feel free to discuss further,

Regards.
