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.

View allI've been feeling a bit under the weather with a sore throat and cold symptoms over the past few days. I noticed my oxygen levels dropped from 99 to 95, which got me worried. So I went ahead and got the rt pcr and chest CT scans done. Thankfully, the Covid test came back negative twice and my HRCT thorax looks normal. One odd thing I've picked up is that I have nasal congestion, but my oxygen levels seem to go back to normal when I breathe through my mouth. Is this something I should be concerned about?

I've had a really bad runny nose for the past six days, and I'm feeling pretty miserable. I heard that taking azithromycin tablets might help with a cold. Do you think it's a good idea for me to try them, or should I consider something else? Is it normal for a cold to last this long?

Is it okay to get a tetanus shot in the buttock? I got one there and now it's hurting. I'm kind of worried because I read online that getting it in the buttock isn't recommended. Why did the nurse say it was less painful and more effective there? Can you help me understand what's going on?
if pain persists and it develops into mass consult general surgeon
