what medication polyclinic give for fever?

coldzero SG

I'm thinking whether I should go for a private clinic or a polyclinic now cause I'm having a fever.. Private clinic gives antibiotics which heals me faster. Can I ask if polyclinic gives antibiotics too? If so I would rather go there since it's free for me cause I'm a civic servant. The last time I want is to go to a polyclinic and all they give me are panadols.

Paracetemol lor which is panadol. Antibiotics don't do shit to fever.

I thought it's supposed to build your body's resistant?

Its used to treat bacterial infections. If antibiotics were good at everything, why not make it standard?

drink the chinese fever tea, wrap yourself up for two hours until all sweat up...then ok liao...other than taking MC, see doctor for what?? poly gives std 1 day MC, private one can give up to 3 days MC.

Usually depends on the reason for your fever. If it's sore throat or other serious infection that won't go away, antibiotics might be prescribed.

But usually, it's harder to get antibiotics la.

Antibiotics are not that good for your health in the long run. So better not to rely too much on it. Maybe this is the reason why most doctors are hesitant in giving out antibiotics.

Just take some panadol if your condition is not serious la...

Just go to see any doctor......go to a polyclinic is Ok also....but usually the waiting time is longer.....if you want, you can go to some other doctors at other places with less people..........And anyways regarding the medication, that is something for the doctors to decide, let them decide it, they know more and they know the latest developments more than us....
