I'm a bit worried and would love some advice. I tested positive for Covid on April 16, even though I didn't have any symptoms. My doctor recommended I take ivermectin and doxy, so I did. I took another RT PCR test on April 23, and thankfully it came back negative. Now, I'm wondering if it's okay to stop quarantining and be around my family. I'm especially concerned about my 9-year-old son. Is it safe to be with him and back to normal around my family now?

View allI tested positive for strep last week, and my sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, and slight fever made me feel pretty rough. But now, after some rest, all those symptoms have disappeared. I was supposed to start antibiotics, but since I'm feeling much better, I'm wondering if it's really necessary. Are there risks if I've started to feel better on my own? I haven't taken antibiotics in ages, and they usually mess up my stomach, which concerns me because I'm also breastfeeding. Should I go ahead and take them anyway, or is it okay to skip them since everything seems to be improving?
For breastfeeding mothers, it is important to choose antibiotics that are safe during lactation to avoid any harm to the baby. It is crucial to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed by your healthcare provider to ensure the infection is completely eradicated. If you have concerns about the impact of antibiotics on your digestive system, you can discuss potential alternatives or supportive measures with your healthcare provider.

I'm trying to figure out the best way for adults to do deworming and how often it should be done. Should everyone in the family go through this even if nobody's showing any symptoms?
no problem you can take

I'm feeling a bit uneasy because I've got a slight cold and some throat pain. My oxygen levels range from 95 to 96, and sometimes they go up to 99. Is this something I should be concerned about? I haven't had any fever or other symptoms, but I'm getting anxious, especially with my 9-month-old baby at home. Can you let me know if there's anything I should do or keep an eye on?
no need to worry you are fine
