I'm really concerned because I heard in the news that having the BCG vaccine might lower the risk of getting the coronavirus. My brother is 28 and he never got any vaccines, including the BCG one, since he was born. Should I be worried about his health? Can you give me some advice on what we should do?

I'm feeling really worried because I've been having a high fever with shivering for the past two days, but it seems to get better when I take Paracetamol. On top of that, I've got this bad cough and a runny nose. It's been really tough dealing with it all at once. Is this something I should be concerned about? What could be causing these symptoms?

Can you tell me if it's safe to take four Tiniba 500 mg tablets all at once, since that adds up to 2000 mg? I'm just a bit worried about such a high dose.

Typical Doses: For infections, Tinidazole is often prescribed in doses like 500 mg twice a day or 1000 mg once a day depending on the condition. Possible Side Effects: Common side effects of Tinidazole can include nausea, metallic taste, dizziness, and headache, which might be more intense with a higher dose. If in doubt, it's always a good idea to clarify with your healthcare provider before taking the medication.
