Could you suggest a good cough syrup? I've had this dry cough since this morning and it's quite uncomfortable. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

View allI'm really worried because my 2-year-old daughter has bronchopneumonia, and the doctor recommended Zifi CV 100 for her. Now, I've been coughing for 5 days and I think I might have caught the same thing. Do you think its safe for me to take Zifi CV 200, or should I be considering something else?
No you shouldn't take anything by yourself. Get it checked out by a general physician in person for further evaluation and management. He will examine you and then suggest you accordingly. Don't self medicate. This is how antibiotic resistance develops.

I'm currently COVID positive and I'm wondering if it's okay for me to wash my hair. It's gotten really oily since I haven't been able to wash it. Is there any issue with washing my hair while dealing with COVID?

I received a full dose of the anti-rabies vaccine about 7 months back. Yesterday, my cat scratched me again, and there was a tiny bit of blood. I cleaned the scratch with soap and got a tetanus shot. Do you think it's necessary for me to get the rabies vaccine once more?
Depending on the severity of the scratch and the risk of rabies transmission, a booster dose of ARV may be considered. The standard regimen for post-exposure prophylaxis includes a series of rabies vaccine doses, such as Rabipur or Verorab, administered over a specific time period. The healthcare provider will assess the situation and determine the appropriate course of action.
