Cold fever throat infection
Hi Doc, I had been on a bike ride. Through out the ride I drank some chilled local packaged water and outside food. I have got fever cold and headache after returning home. I also had throat infection. I consulted a friend of mine who is a doctor took Azythromycin for throat infection and paracetamol and citrecine (as I had running nose) for fever and cold. Its been 3 days now. I started taking pills only one day from now. Should I wait or go for blood test?

If you are feeling better then continue for 2 more days. Then review If not then better to do some basic tests since you have travelled and consumed local packaged water
