I'm really struggling with a bad cold right now, and my nose is completely blocked. I've been taking cepodem 200 for a throat infection, but I'm not sure what else I can use for the cold because cetrizine doesn't really agree with me. Could you suggest something that might help?

Cepodem 200 is an antibiotic, but antibiotics are not effective against viruses, which cause colds.you can use allegra [fexofenadine]as an alternative to citrizen If your symptoms persist for more than 710 days or worsen, you may want to consult your doctor again.

View allI'm worried because last night, I had really severe symptoms and ended up taking both Wikoryl and Dolo 650. Is it okay to take them together, or should I be concerned about any potential problems or side effects from combining these medications?

I'm wondering if paracetamol is just for treating fevers, or can it help with colds as well? Are there other benefits to taking it? Would love to get some guidance on this.
Paracetamol (also known as acetaminophen) is a versatile medication that not only helps reduce fever but also relieves headache, toothache, muscle aches, and menstrual cramps, while also alleviating cold and flu symptoms, making it a commonly used over-the-counter medication for various pain and discomfort conditions.

I'm really concerned because I had the first symptoms of COVID back on May 7th, and while I had mild symptoms like occasional moderate fevers and a cough for over 10 days, I've mostly recovered now. However, I still get a mild cough and sometimes my temperature goes up to around 99 degrees, but it happens only once every three days or so, usually at night and it's better by morning. Is this something I should be worried about? Sometimes thinking about it reminds me of long COVID and all the scary stories I've heard about people having serious issues even months later. I have a history of cardiophobia which was under control until I got COVID, and now those anxious thoughts about heart attacks and strokes are creeping back again. Could this be related or should I just brush it off?
donot worry , if there are any other comorbidites then you should worry
