I'm dealing with a sore throat and I'm not sure what medicine would be best to take for it. Does Azithromycin work for a sore throat? I'd really appreciate some advice.

I'm dealing with fever, loose motion, and vomiting since this morning, and I'm feeling so weak I cant even make it downstairs to see a doctor. What could be causing this? Should I be worried and what can I do at home to feel better?

I recommend taking acetaminophen 500mg for fever, loperamide 2mg for loose motions, and ondansetron 4mg for vomiting. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention.

I often find that when I take medication for colds, I end up dealing with a cough afterwards. Is there a cold medicine that doesn't lead to coughing?

Some cold medications can exacerbate coughing. Look for cold medicines that are labeled as "non-drowsy" or "cough-suppressing." Here are some options: - Medications with acetaminophen (Tylenol) and dextromethorphan (Robitussin) can help alleviate cold symptoms without exacerbating cough. - Medications with diphenhydramine (Benadryl) can also provide relief from cold symptoms and may help suppress cough.

I'm really worried because someone I know tested positive for Covid and had symptoms. But after about 5 days, the symptoms went away. Do we really need to do another Covid test now, or is it okay to skip it since theyre feeling better? I'm just unsure if there's a risk, so some guidance would be really helpful.
