I used to like physics in school, now second year in college and I don't even seem to like my course anymore and feel like dropping out,

How does /sci/ get through burnout

With professional help, because we cherish health and respect our bodies and minds.

Redirect your efforts elsewhere. During my junior year I burned out on pure math. After the depression came and went, I just focused on other sides of math.

Generally burnout is a signal that you're not spending enough time away from your work. Develop some hobbies you can do to relax that aren't related to physics. Lots of people choose something physical so they don't have to think at all; I know mathematicians who are amateur jugglers, frisbee players, soccer players, hikers, all sorts of things like that.
If you weren't working very hard and you're burned out anyway, then this is probably a sign you shouldn't be doing what you're doing.

I risk my studies and really get into something else on the side until I get bored of that one thing and go back to liking medecine

Remind yourself of why you're there. For the money. The inevitable job and increased income.
