Can you help me decide whether I should take Cheston Cold Total or Paracip 650? Ive only got a mild fever around 101, so I'm wondering what's best in this situation.

Medication Options:
- Cheston Cold Total: Contains paracetamol, diphenhydramine, phenylephrine, and caffeine. Suitable for cold symptoms like congestion and runny nose.
- Paracip 650: Contains only paracetamol, effective for reducing fever and mild pain.
Recommendation:
- If you have only a mild fever without cold symptoms, Paracip 650 is sufficient.
- If experiencing cold symptoms (e.g., congestion, sneezing), consider Cheston Cold Total.
Considerations:
- Avoid Cheston Cold Total if sensitive to caffeine or antihistamines, or if you have high blood pressure or glaucoma, without consulting a doctor.
- If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical advice.

Question

I've been having these Covid symptoms since this morning and I've already done an RT PCR test. After talking to a doctor on Practo, I started on some meds. My Spo2 levels seem to fluctuate between 93 and 97 on my left index finger, but they read 97-99 on my right index. Is it normal for the oxygen levels to be different on each finger? What's the ideal range I should be looking for? And at what point should I be worried? My fever is currently at 101F.
