Can I drink milk that's been pasteurized and homogenized without boiling it first? Also, during the summer, is it safe to consume packaged milk directly without boiling? I'm a bit unsure about this and would really appreciate your advice.

View allI'm really concerned because I had the first symptoms of COVID back on May 7th, and while I had mild symptoms like occasional moderate fevers and a cough for over 10 days, I've mostly recovered now. However, I still get a mild cough and sometimes my temperature goes up to around 99 degrees, but it happens only once every three days or so, usually at night and it's better by morning. Is this something I should be worried about? Sometimes thinking about it reminds me of long COVID and all the scary stories I've heard about people having serious issues even months later. I have a history of cardiophobia which was under control until I got COVID, and now those anxious thoughts about heart attacks and strokes are creeping back again. Could this be related or should I just brush it off?
donot worry , if there are any other comorbidites then you should worry

I need to get a medical fitness certificate for my driving license application, and I'm supposed to submit it at the RTO in Pune on the day of my appointment. Could you tell me how I should go about getting this certificate? Do I need to visit a specific clinic or doctor in Pune? Also, are there certain tests or checks that I should expect during this process? Just want to make sure I have everything ready and don't run into any surprises.
