I have been facing cold for 2 weeks and wet cough for 1.5 months. After several examinations my report is normal. After taking many medicines I do not feel better but after taking Cheston Cold tablet I feel good. How many days can I take Cheston Cold tablet to remove all bacterial infection?

If symptoms improve only with Cheston Cold but keep returning, it may not be a simple infection. Persistent wet cough could be allergic or post viral. Avoid taking any cold tablet long term without a doctors advice.

Hello, I had a potential HIV exposure 85 days ago. Since around 75 days after exposure, I have been experiencing itching and irritation on my hands and feet. I took an HIV DUO test after 80 days, and it came back non reactive with a value of 0.82. I am very anxious because of the persistent itching. Can you please explain why my blood test is negative even though I am experiencing these symptoms?
