I'm a bit worried and would love some advice. I tested positive for Covid on April 16, even though I didn't have any symptoms. My doctor recommended I take ivermectin and doxy, so I did. I took another RT PCR test on April 23, and thankfully it came back negative. Now, I'm wondering if it's okay to stop quarantining and be around my family. I'm especially concerned about my 9-year-old son. Is it safe to be with him and back to normal around my family now?

Question

I'm dealing with a sore throat and cold, and my doctor said it's pharyngitis. He prescribed azithromycin and told me to take 250 mg twice a day for 3 days. But before, another doctor gave me 500 mg once daily for 3 days for a similar issue. I also read online that the dosage for sinusitis is 500 mg daily for 3 days, while for pharyngitis, its 500 mg on the first day, followed by 250 mg twice daily from day 2 to day 5. I'm really confused about what the right dosage should be. Could you help me figure out the correct prescription?

I got a tetanus toxoid shot last September, but I just cut myself on some rusted iron today. Should I be worried about needing another dose?

Question

I'm really worried because my mom and I both have COVID, and we're using the same nasal spray from Cipla. I accidentally used her nasal spray after she'd already used it. Could this cause any problems, and can she keep using it?
