I'm really worried because I've had a fever since last night and I can't take any medicine because I'm breastfeeding my 4-month-old daughter. Along with the fever, I'm dealing with a headache and body pain. Can you recommend a mild medication that's safe for me to take?

Lung fibrosis can be a challenging condition to manage. Considering a lung transplant is a significant decision, and it's great that you're exploring options for your father.
In India, lung transplants are possible, and several hospitals offer this procedure. One such hospital is the Max Super Speciality Hospital in Delhi, which has a dedicated lung transplant program . Their team of experts includes some of the best lung transplant surgeons in India.
To be eligible for a lung transplant, your father will need to meet certain criteria, including:
- Severe lung disease diagnosis: A confirmed diagnosis of end-stage lung disease, such as lung fibrosis.
- Suitability for surgery: Your father's overall physical condition should be stable enough to withstand the transplant surgery.
- Absence of other untreatable conditions: Your father should not have other untreatable medical conditions that could complicate the transplant or recovery process.
It's essential to consult with a lung transplant specialist to determine if your father is a suitable candidate for the procedure.
Additionally, you can also consider other hospitals in India that offer lung transplant services, such as:
- Fortis Hospital in Delhi
- Apollo Hospital in Chennai
- Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital in Mumbai

I'm really curious about how long a single 0.5 ml dose of tetanus toxoid vaccine would last in someone who hasn't had any tetanus shots before. Like, would it give enough protection if they've never been vaccinated for tetanus? Just trying to understand how effective this dose would be in that situation.
it is valid for 10 years

I'm a bit worried and would love some advice. I tested positive for Covid on April 16, even though I didn't have any symptoms. My doctor recommended I take ivermectin and doxy, so I did. I took another RT PCR test on April 23, and thankfully it came back negative. Now, I'm wondering if it's okay to stop quarantining and be around my family. I'm especially concerned about my 9-year-old son. Is it safe to be with him and back to normal around my family now?
yes
