I'm feeling a bit under the weather with a cold today, and I was planning to have a drink tomorrow. Do you think it's okay for me to have some whiskey? I'm really curious if it might affect my cold or overall health. I read some places say a little alcohol is fine when you have a cold, but others say it's not. I'm not sure what's best.

Alcohol consumption can have negative effects on your immune system and can potentially worsen your cold symptoms. It is generally not recommended to consume alcohol when you have a cold as it can dehydrate you and make it harder for your body to fight off the infection. It's best to avoid alcohol until you have fully recovered from your cold. Instead, focus on staying hydrated and getting plenty of rest to help your body heal faster.

View allI've been having these Covid symptoms since this morning and I've already done an RT PCR test. After talking to a doctor on Practo, I started on some meds. My Spo2 levels seem to fluctuate between 93 and 97 on my left index finger, but they read 97-99 on my right index. Is it normal for the oxygen levels to be different on each finger? What's the ideal range I should be looking for? And at what point should I be worried? My fever is currently at 101F.
ideal above 94 percent

I'm experiencing a fever that started yesterday, and while my overall body temperature is elevated, I've noticed that my hands and feet feel even hotter than the rest of me. Could this be an indication of something specific?
Recovering from jaundice requires patience and careful monitoring. _Possible Reasons for Mild Fever and Nausea_ 1. _Residual liver inflammation_: Although your bilirubin levels have normalized, your liver might still be recovering, causing mild inflammation and fever. 2. _Medication side effects_: Liv 52, Ulsys 300, and Nirocil syrup can cause nausea and mild fever as side effects. 3. _Gastrointestinal issues_: Nausea and mild fever can be symptoms of gastrointestinal issues, such as gastritis or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). 4. _Relapse or re-infection_: Although unlikely, it's essential to consider the possibility of a relapse or re-infection, especially if you're not following proper hygiene and dietary guidelines. _Test Results_ 1. _Bilirubin 0.7_: Within normal range (0.1-1.2 mgdL). 2. _SGOT 90 and SGPT 65_: Slightly elevated liver enzymes, indicating some residual liver inflammation. _Next Steps_ 1. _Consult your doctor_: Discuss your symptoms and test results with your doctor to determine the best course of action. 2. _Monitor your symptoms_: Keep track of your fever, nausea, and any other symptoms to share with your doctor. 3. _Adhere to your treatment plan_: Continue taking your prescribed medications and following your dietary guidelines. 4. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of water to help your liver function properly.
