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'm really worried about my husband. He's got a fever, and he's also dealing with a cough and cold. Yesterday, we gave him Dolo 650 and chest on cold meds. Do you think that's enough, or should we be doing something else? Do we need to see a doctor in person, or is there anything else we could try at home? I'm just not sure if we're on the right track with this.
