I'm just wondering, how many Meftal Forte tablets can I take during COVID? My doctor suggested I take them twice daily for three days along with antibiotics and a PPI. He recommended Meftal Forte instead of Dolo 650, and I don't have any other symptoms except a fever. After those three days, is it okay to take Meftal Forte on an as-needed basis?

I've got this sharp, stabbing pain on the left side of my chest, but it only happens when I sleep on my left side. If I sleep on my right, there's no pain. It just started last night. I've also got a mild flu going on but no fever, and my stomach seems okay even though I have these on and off digestion issues like irritable bowel. Should I be worried about this chest pain, or is it likely linked to the flu or something else?

Differential diagnosis coild be decongestion,GERD,Cold weather,etc, u can take tab ZIFI 200 mg twice daily for 5 days, if symtoms not subsiding ,cardiac opinion is advised.
