I'm really concerned because I've had this dry cough for about a week now, and for the last three days, the hiccups just won't stop. I've tried some medicines and home remedies, but nothing seems to be working. Any idea what's going on or how I can get rid of these hiccups? I'm feeling a bit worried.

I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with fever, cold, and back pain almost every day for almost a year now. Every morning when I wake up, I have a fever and feel really cold. What could be causing this? I've tried a few things but nothing seems to help. Can you tell me what might be going on and what steps I can take to feel better?

I'm feeling kind of anxious because I've got mild COVID symptoms, and I have both Azithromycin and paracetamol at home. Is it safe to take them together? Could there be any risks?

Yes, you can take Azithromycin and paracetamol together for mild symptoms of COVID-19. Azithromycin is an antibiotic that can help with any bacterial infections that may be present, while paracetamol can help reduce fever and relieve pain. The usual dosage for Azithromycin is 500mg once daily for 3 days, and for paracetamol, the usual dosage is 500mg to 1000mg every 4 to 6 hours as needed. Make sure to follow the recommended dosages and consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns.
