I'm really concerned because I've had this dry cough for about a week now, and for the last three days, the hiccups just won't stop. I've tried some medicines and home remedies, but nothing seems to be working. Any idea what's going on or how I can get rid of these hiccups? I'm feeling a bit worried.

Question

I've been feeling pretty rough with a cold and flu, plus my nose won't stop running, and swallowing is really hard. I also have hay fever, so I'm kinda worried if that's making everything worse. Could this be something more than just a cold? What should I do to feel better?

Question

I've heard that taking steam twice a day for about 5 to 7 minutes might help as a precaution against COVID-19. Is this really effective, and if so, how does it work? Would love to get your advice on whether this is a reliable method to include in my routine.

Question

I recently had some blood tests done, and I'm a bit confused about the results. My serum globulin came back at 4.07, but I thought the normal range was between 23.5 and something else. Also, my blood urea nitrogen is 5.27, which seems low since I heard it should be between 7 and 21. My vitamin D level is also a bit low at 10.53, but my doctor said it's not a big deal and just advised me to take a supplement. Does all this sound okay to you, or should I be worried about these levels?
