I'm really concerned about my COVID diagnosis and the medication my doctor prescribed. They gave me Fabiflu and told me to take 800 mg twice a day, but on the first day, I had to take 1800 mg twice. I'm a bit confused about how long I should wait between each dose. Can you help clarify this for me?

View allCan taking paracetamol help with a stomachache? I'm not sure if it's safe or effective for this kind of pain. What do you think?
Paracetamol is not typically recommended for stomach aches, as it's primarily used to relieve headaches, fever, and body aches; instead, consider over-the-counter antacids or acid reducers like ranitidine or omeprazole, but if your stomach ache persists or worsens, consult a doctor to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

I'm wondering if there are any services where I can have samples like blood or urine collected at my home for a health checkup, specifically for things like TB or cancer concerns? It would be really helpful to know if such at-home testing options are available.

I've been dealing with a cold, cough, and fever about 10 to 15 days ago. Now, even though my body still feels hot, there's no fever when I use a thermometer. I'm also experiencing a bit of weakness. Any idea what these symptoms could mean? What medication could help prevent or cure this?
These symptoms could be related to a post-viral syndrome, where your body is still recovering from the previous cold, cough, and fever. The feeling of body heat without an actual fever could be due to residual inflammation or immune response. The slight weakness may also be a lingering effect of the previous illness. To help alleviate these symptoms, you can consider taking a medication like Paracetamol (brand name: Tylenol) for any discomfort or perceived feverishness. Additionally, you may benefit from over-the-counter cough syrups like Dextromethorphan (brand name: Robitussin) for any lingering cough. Make sure to get plenty of rest, stay hydrated, and eat nutritious foods to support your body's recovery.
