I'm currently COVID positive but don't have a fever or cough. My doctor initially prescribed Pratham 500, and later, I think he mentioned taking DOXT. Does that mean I should stop taking Pratham and switch to DOXT, or should I be taking both of them together? Can I take DOXT and Pratham at the same time? Im just a bit confused about the right way to go about this.

I'm a bit concerned because my body temperature is 98.3 F. Does this mean I have a fever? I'm especially worried because of the covid situation. Could you please let me know if this is something to be concerned about?

Black Stool and Throat Pain in a Thyroid Patient _Possible Causes_ 1. *Thyroid medication side effects*: Certain thyroid medications, such as levothyroxine, can cause gastrointestinal symptoms, including black stools. 2. *Gastrointestinal bleeding*: Black stools can be a sign of gastrointestinal bleeding, which may be related to thyroid disease or medication. 3. *Iron supplements*: If you're taking iron supplements, they can cause black stools. 4. *Throat pain*: Throat pain can be related to thyroid disease, especially if you have hypothyroidism. _What to Do_ 1. *Consult your doctor*: Inform your doctor about the black stools and throat pain.

I'm a bit concerned about my temperature readings. They're usually between 98.6 and 99.2, but most often fall between 98.5 and 98.8. I'm not feeling feverish or anything, but should I be worried? Is this considered a fever?

A normal oral body temperature ranges from 97.7F to 99.5F, so your temperature readings (98.5-99.2F) are within the normal range, and it's unlikely to be a fever, especially if you're not experiencing any feverish symptoms

I've been dealing with a bad throat cough and mucus for a couple of days now. My doctor gave me Azee and Dolo 650, but I havent started taking Dolo yet and have only had two doses of Azee so far. My fever is still at 100 degrees. Is this normal for a minor throat and seasonal infection? How long is it expected to last?

take dolo and continue Azithromycin for 3 more days
