Brief Answer:
Multivitamins + hemogram

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

The symptoms you reported are not specific to a medical condition. And therefore it is difficult to assess / determine the condition without physical examination and investigations. In this circumstance, I will suggest he tries a course of multivitamin pills - cap zincovit once a day for a couple of weeks. It will also be a good idea to visit a physician for physical examination. If deemed necessary a battery of test that includes complete hemogram and ESR could be ordered.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Brief Answer:
Continue the treatment prescribed.

Detailed Answer:
The attached prescription seems to contain an antibiotic, pain medication and a multivitamin. Ideally I would have preferred getting the blood test before starting antibiotic. But if he has started it please continue. Incase symptoms persists despite completion on treatment he can be evaluated as discussed earlier.

I hope he gets well soon. Let me know if you need clarifications.
