Question

I'm really concerned about this recent weight loss I've experienced. I was prescribed Phlogam to help with my sinus pain, and I've been taking it along with antibiotics for about a month now. I've lost about 2 kilograms since I started. Could Phlogam be the reason for this weight loss? Any insight would be appreciated.

Question

I'm wondering about how long the protection lasts from tetanus toxoid shots. I never got the tetanus vaccination as a kid, but I did get 24 tetanus toxoid shots over two years, in 2016 and 2017. Is that level of vaccination enough to keep me protected, or should I consider getting another shot? Whats the typical duration of protection in cases like mine?

Question

I've been thinking about taking multivitamins like Becadexamin every day to make sure I'm getting enough vitamins, but I'm worried it might not be totally safe. Is there anything I should be aware of or any potential side effects I should consider before making it a regular part of my routine?

Question

I'm really curious about how some patients recover from COVID-19 without using plasma from recovered patients. I read about Rohit Datta, a 45-year-old who was admitted to the isolation ward in Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital in Delhi, tested positive on March 2nd, and was discharged by March 14th after just taking paracetamol and other medicines prescribed by doctors. Can you explain how he might have recovered? I'm wondering if there's something specific about his treatment that helped or if it's something about the virus itself. Would love to understand more about it.
