I had dengue meningitis back in September-October 2016, and although I've been recovering well, I'm still dealing with some weakness and haven't quite regained my weight. Today, I drank a glass of juice from the market and ended up with loose motion an hour later. Should I be concerned about this, and what steps should I take?

I'm really curious about how some patients recover from COVID-19 without using plasma from recovered patients. I read about Rohit Datta, a 45-year-old who was admitted to the isolation ward in Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital in Delhi, tested positive on March 2nd, and was discharged by March 14th after just taking paracetamol and other medicines prescribed by doctors. Can you explain how he might have recovered? I'm wondering if there's something specific about his treatment that helped or if it's something about the virus itself. Would love to understand more about it.

I'm trying to figure out the right dosage for Zincovit syrup for a 21-year-old. How should it be taken? Could you please guide me?

For a 21-year-old, the typical dosage of Zincovit syrup is 10-15 ml once a day, preferably after a meal. However, it's best to follow the dosage prescribed by your doctor for your specific needs. Make sure to shake the bottle well before use!
