I got my COVID test done yesterday, and thankfully, it came back negative. However, I've been having this dry cough that's been bothering me a bit. I don't have any other symptoms, but I was hoping you could recommend some good medicine for this dry cough. What do you suggest?

I'm experiencing a lot of excess heat in my body, and it's causing a bunch of side effects like loose motions, a really strong smell during urine and bowel movements, and burning sensations in my throat and when I pee. Plus, I'm having excess cold and sneezes. I've tried a lot of natural drinks to cool down, but nothing seems to work. Also, I can't even handle a little bit of spice. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

drink more water and coconut water and katora

I've just tested positive for COVID and I'm isolating at home. Can you let me know what medicines I should take or if there's any specific treatment I should follow? I'm also interested in having a teleconsultation.
