[|Human|] My daughter, who is 42 years old, had a fever of 104 on Saturday. She has an Rx for Azithromysin 250 (one time daily) which she started to take on Saturday. She is 300 lbs. Now, in the morning, the temp is 98.6, but this evening it shoots up to 102.6. Is this normal? Does she need a new Rx that is stronger?
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for writing in to Chat Doctor. I understand your problem and will try my best to help you out.300 lbs is around 136 kg which shows your daughter is definitely obese. Azithromycin dosage is usually 500 mg one tablet per day for adults for 5 days. So 250 mg may be lesser. Also since your daughter is 136kgs the dose needs to be adjusted likewise. Also, she may need antipyretic lie acetaminophen to control the fever. Kindly consult a physician regarding the medication. Certain blood tests like complete blood count along with liver function tests shall help in the diagnosis. You must seriously consider consulting a physician regarding her weight and get her hormone levels tested to know the reason of obesity and this shall help cure the problem. Hope this answered your query. Get well soon. Chat Doctor.
