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?

I'm currently taking tablets, supplements, and multivitamins, but I'm not seeing any improvement. Can you recommend an injection that could help boost my stamina?

Instead of relying solely on multivitamin tablets, consider consulting a healthcare professional about vitamin B12 injections, which can help boost energy levels and improve stamina, especially if you have a deficiency; however, it's essential to undergo a blood test to determine the underlying cause of your fatigue and rule out any underlying medical conditions that may require specific treatment.
