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 allMy grandmother's been running a fever since this morning. It hit 102 earlier, dropped to 100 after we gave her an antibiotic, but then climbed back up to 102, and now it's at 101. She's also coughing heavily. Im not sure if this could be COVID since we haven't been traveling. Should we be worried and get it checked out, or maybe wait and see for a bit?

I've noticed my total protein level is 8.6, with albumin at 4.5 and globulin at 4.1. Should I be worried about these elevated protein levels? Do you think its necessary for me to consult a doctor about this?
With a total protein of 8.6, albumin of 4.5, and globulin of 4.1, your protein levels are actually within the normal range (total protein: 6.4-8.9 gdL, albumin: 3.5-5.5 gdL, globulin: 2.0-3.5 gdL), so consultation with a doctor may not be necessary unless you have underlying medical conditions or symptoms that warrant further evaluation.
