Question

I'm a bit concerned and need some advice. My workplace is asking everyone to get tested for the coronavirus before we return to the office. I've recently been to Singapore and I want to make sure I'm doing the right test. Could you let me know which test I should take to check if I have the virus? I'm feeling a little anxious about the whole situation.

Question

I've been dealing with a cold for the last three days and started feeling feverish the day before yesterday. I began taking Dolo 650, which helped a bit, but the feverish feeling returned in the evening. So, I also added Levo Citrizen and took both medications in the morning and at night. Yesterday, I ended up with a bad headache and took the same meds again last night. This morning, I feel a bit better, but I still have the cold, a light cough, and some feverish feelings. My temperature has been between 94 to 98F for the past three days. What do you suggest I do, and can you recommend any specific medications?

Question

I had a minor accident yesterday and now I've got some scratches on my knee. I'm wondering if it's alright to use cipladine ointment for these open wounds and cuts. Would it be safe and effective?

Question

I took Amoxicillin about 7 hours ago. Is it safe to take ibuprofen now, or could they interact badly? I'm just worried it might affect me.
