Question

I've been dealing with this viral fever for the last two weeks, and I occasionally get these chills and a headache. Someone mentioned Gudcef cv 200 for this. Do you think it's okay for me to take it? I'm just a bit unsure about its usage for viral fever.

Gudcef CV 200 is an antibiotic containing cefpodoxime and clavulanic acid, effective against bacterial infections, not viral fever; taking antibiotics for viral fever won't help and may lead to antibiotic resistance; for viral fever, focus on symptom management with rest, hydration, antipyretics like paracetamol, and antihistamines for cold and headache;

Question

I'm really concerned about my brother who was diagnosed with Dengue fever yesterday. His platelet count was at 110,000 the day before yesterday, but today it's dropped to 69,000. Even though he seems to be feeling better, I'm worried because the platelet count is declining. The doctor has advised us to keep him at home and rest with fluids like coconut water, but should we be thinking about admitting him to the hospital instead? I'm not sure if we should stick with what our current doctor says or maybe seek a second opinion. What do you think?

Question

I'm really worried about my mom who just tested positive for COVID yesterday with a ct value of 16. She's been having a dry cough and had a fever a couple of days ago. Our family doctor has prescribed some medicine, and her oxygen level has been steady at 99 throughout today. Should we stick with the current meds, or is it better to see another doctor for her COVID treatment?
