I'm feeling feverish on and off for the last couple of weeks, but every time I take my temperature, it's at 98.6. I've also got a bit of a sore throat, but I'm not having any issues with breathing or a dry cough. A person in my building was diagnosed with coronavirus a few days ago, and it's making me really anxious. I'm not sure what's happening with my health since I've never felt this way before. Any advice?

I've had this pain three times last year, and now it's starting up again. I'm really not sure what's going on, and I'm worried about it. Can you help me figure out what might be causing this and what medicine I should be taking?

It sounds like you may be experiencing recurrent episodes of pain. Without a specific diagnosis, it is difficult to recommend a precise treatment. However, for general pain relief, you can try taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried because my husband tested positive for COVID two weeks ago. He went into home quarantine right away and also had a CT scan done of his chest. Right now, he only has a cough and some congestion. There's no fever or trouble breathing so far. Is there something specific I should be doing or looking out for to make sure he's handling it okay?

do regular breathing exercises

I'm curious about using Combiflam for my headaches. Are there any specific things I should know before taking it? Like, are there any prerequisites or conditions that could affect its safety or effectiveness?

You can take a single dose of Combiflam to get relief from pain. It will take a half-hour to an hour to get relief from pain after taking Combiflam. You can also take it to reduce inflammation but do not exceed the recommended dosage. Take Combiflam after a meal.
