I'm dealing with a really bad cold and sore throat, and I've just started feeling a bit of chest pain. I'm wondering if it's safe to inhale steam with Karvol Plus added, through my mouth. Do you think that could help, or should I be worried about any side effects?

It's not recommended to inhale Karvol Plus steam water directly through your mouth, as it may irritate your throat. Instead, inhale the steam through your nose, allowing it to gently soothe your congestion and sore throat. If you're experiencing chest pain, it's best to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation.

I'm having this persistent pain in my chest and ribs, and honestly, my whole body just feels sore ever since I got over COVID. I did see my local doctor about it, and they mentioned it might just be weakness and gave me some meds. But I'm still worried because I've had kidney stones before and I'm taking thyroid pills. Do you think this could be related? Should I get a second opinion or just wait it out?
