I've been dealing with a sore throat and cough, and I've already tried taking Alex and Moxikind, but it hasn't gotten any better, and it's been a whole week now. Could you recommend another medicine or treatment option that might help? I'm getting a bit worried about it.

Question

Can I take Dolo 650 and Cetirizine together? I'm not sure if it's safe to mix them, and I don't want to have any side effects. I feel like I need both, but I'm just worried. What do you think?

I'm really wondering if it's safe to eat eggs after getting the COVID vaccine. Are there any foods that should be avoided, or is it okay to continue with my regular diet? Would love some clarity on this.

Question

I've just recovered from a viral fever, but during that time, my CRP levels shot up to 25. I took medicine for about six days and got retested; now it's down to 5.27. I read online that CRP levels above 3 could indicate a risk of heart disease. Should I be worried about my current level? Could it still be elevated because of the fever, or does it say something about my heart health? Is it usual for CRP to be slightly higher after a viral infection?
