I'm really concerned about keeping things that come into my home virus-free. I've got an alcohol-based sanitizer and I'm thinking about diluting it with water to spray on groceries and packages. Do you think this would actually work to kill any virus on those items? And if so, what would be the ideal ratio of sanitizer to water?

Avoid diluting alcohol-based sanitizers with water, as this will reduce their effectiveness. Instead, use appropriate cleaning products designed for disinfecting surfaces or a diluted bleach solution to kill viruses on objects coming into your home.

My mom's come down with a cold, runny nose, and a fever. I have some Dart and Montewok LC at home and I'm wondering if it's okay for her to take both. Are there any issues or side effects we should watch out for? She's also been dealing with a persistent cough for a few months now. Should I be concerned or consider something else for her?
-Your mom can take Dart for fever and Montewok LC for her cold and running nose, as there are no major interactions. However, for her ongoing cough, it's best to consult a doctor to rule out chronic issues like allergies or asthma.
