I'm feeling kind of anxious because I've got mild COVID symptoms, and I have both Azithromycin and paracetamol at home. Is it safe to take them together? Could there be any risks?

Yes, you can take Azithromycin and paracetamol together for mild symptoms of COVID-19. Azithromycin is an antibiotic that can help with any bacterial infections that may be present, while paracetamol can help reduce fever and relieve pain. The usual dosage for Azithromycin is 500mg once daily for 3 days, and for paracetamol, the usual dosage is 500mg to 1000mg every 4 to 6 hours as needed. Make sure to follow the recommended dosages and consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns.

I'm a bit worried because I've had a dry cough for about a week, and now the right side of my back is swollen. I went to the doctor, and she said the swelling is from the cough and it's nothing serious. The swelling has gone down, but I'm still feeling a little pain around my right rib area. Should I be concerned about this lingering pain? Could it be something more than just from the cough?

Patient is advised tab augmentin 625mg orally,thrice daily for 5 days,tab levocetrizine 10 mg bedtime ,orally for 5 days and syrup salbutamol 10ml thrice dailly for 5 days is advised to the patient.

I've been told by my doctor that I have a deficiency in B12 and Vitamin D. They've recommended B12 ME12 injection shots for me. I'm a bit concerned and curious about whether it's really safe for me to go with the B12 shots, or if taking a capsule could be a better option instead. Can you help me understand the differences or what might be best for me?

B12 injections like ME-12 are effective for quickly raising levels, especially if your deficiency is significant or absorption is an issue. Capsules can also work if your body absorbs them well, but injections may be recommended for faster results. Always follow your doctor's advice for the best approach.
