I'm really concerned about my COVID diagnosis and the medication my doctor prescribed. They gave me Fabiflu and told me to take 800 mg twice a day, but on the first day, I had to take 1800 mg twice. I'm a bit confused about how long I should wait between each dose. Can you help clarify this for me?

Can I eat right after taking a bath? If I do, is there anything that might happen to my health, or should I wait a bit? I'm really curious about this and want to make sure I'm doing what's best for my body.

Question

I'm a bit worried and need some advice. I've had a low-grade fever for the past five days, fluctuating between 97.7 in the morning to 99.6 in the evening, along with a mild heavy feeling in my head. The head issue seems to have gotten better in the last two days, and I've reduced my Dolo 650 intake to once in the evening. I used to take it twice a day before. I don't have any other symptomsmy taste is fine, no breathing issues, and my appetite is good. Could this be something serious like COVID? I'm feeling really tense about it and would appreciate some guidance.
