Hey, I was wondering if it's okay to have a bit of alcohol like wine or beer a day or two after recovering from COVID, especially since it's the festive season. What do you think?

Question

I'm dealing with an upper respiratory tract infection and feeling really tired. Is a 98.8 temperature something to worry about when it comes to fever, or is it just part of the infection?

I'm really worried about some calf pain I've been having in both legs. It's been bothering me for a while now, and on top of that, I've had this cold for almost a month and even though I've been getting treatment, it doesn't seem to be going away. Could the cold or the meds be causing the leg pain, or is it something else entirely?

Question

I've been having this low-grade fever for 16 days now, hovering between 98 and 99.8. I took a Widal test and my results showed S.typhiO 1320 and S typhi H 1160. The doctor I saw prescribed Azilide500 and Oflomac400 for me. I even had a urine test done, which came back normal. Sometimes my fever goes away, but then it creeps back up to 99. It's making me a bit impatient and kind of worried. How much longer is this likely to last, and is there anything else I should be doing?
