I'm dealing with a cold and cough and am unsure about what kind of meals would be best to eat right now. Also, I'm trying to avoid citrus fruits, so I'm wondering which fruits would be good alternatives. Can I drink coconut water during this time too?

When having a cold and cough, opt for warm, nourishing meals like chicken soup, vegetable broths, and easy-to-digest foods like rice, bananas, and toast; for fruits, consider alternatives to citrus fruits like apples, grapes, and mangoes, which are rich in vitamins and antioxidants; coconut water can be consumed in moderation, as it provides hydration and electrolytes, but be mindful of its high sugar content.

View allI'm really concerned about my husband's RT PCR report. His RdRp and N gene CT values are 24 and 23. He had a fever from Tuesday to Thursday, then it went away for two days, but now he's back to having a fever at 100 this morning. He's only taking paracetamol and doesn't have any other symptoms right now. But I've developed a dry cough since yesterday, though I don't have a fever. Our kid seems fine at the moment. What should we do next, and are there any specific medicines you recommend for both of us?

I'm having some throat pain and went to see a doctor who prescribed me roxid 150. Now my stomach's hurting, and I'm wondering if it's okay to take a paracetamol 650 with the roxid 150. Is that safe?
you can take pct 650

I'm really curious about the BSFPP blood test that my doctor mentioned. I know it's important to fast before some blood tests, but I'm not exactly sure how long I need to fast for this one. Could you let me know how many hours I should be fasting for a BSFPP blood test? I'm a bit worried about getting it right.
Ideally 6 hrs of gap would help for fasting sample and 90mins after food for postlinch sample
