I'm really worried about my mom's health since she hasn't been feeling too well lately. Could you suggest a comprehensive list of tests for a full body checkup to ensure everything's okay with her health?

Hormonal imbalances (e.g., thyroid disorders)

Sleep apnea or poor sleep quality

Increased sodium intake or fluid retention

Stress or anxiety

I'm really worried because my maid has been with us for the last 45 days, and she just called to say she has diarrhoea and a fever. Could it be COVID-19? She mentioned she walked home in the hot sun, drank cold water, and ate a lot of watermelon yesterday, and now she's just dealing with diarrhoea. Do you think all of us should get tested for COVID?

Question

I'm really worried because I've had a fever for more than two weeks now. I've been taking an antiflu antibiotic as well, but I'm not sure if this is normal or how much longer it'll take for me to fully recover. Is there anything else I should be doing or looking out for?
