View allI've been sleeping with the AC on and now I've caught a cold, cough, and even a mild fever thats been bugging me since yesterday. I want to know if taking Paracetamol would be a wise choice, or should I just wait for it to pass on its own? By the way, I just finished an antibiotic course last week after a tooth extraction.
Given your recent antibiotic course and current symptoms, it's essential to be cautious. Paracetamol can help alleviate your mild fever, cold, and cough symptoms. However, consider the following: _Paracetamol Precautions_ 1. _Dosage_: Take the recommended dose (500-1000 mg) every 4-6 hours, not exceeding 4000 mg in 24 hours. 2. _Liver health_: Since you've had a recent antibiotic course, your liver might be under stress. Paracetamol can also affect liver function, so monitor your body's response. 3. _Underlying conditions_: If you have any underlying medical conditions, such as liver or kidney disease, consult your doctor before taking Paracetamol. _Alternative Options_ 1. _Rest and hydration_: Focus on getting plenty of rest and staying hydrated to help your body recover. 2. _Warm liquids_: Drink warm liquids like tea, broth, or soup to help soothe your throat and ease congestion. 3. _Saline nasal sprays_: Use a saline nasal spray to help loosen mucus and reduce congestion. _When to Seek Medical Attention_ 1. _Fever escalation_: If your fever exceeds 102F (39C) or lasts for more than 3 days. 2. _Severe symptoms_: If you experience difficulty breathing, chest pain, or severe headache. 3. _Prolonged recovery_: If your symptoms don't improve within 7-10 days.

I've been taking glutathione capsules for a while and I usually have a glass of milk before bed. Is it alright to take them together at night? I'm just wondering if there's any issue with how they might interact.

I've been really worried since I was diagnosed with COVID last month and got treated with remdesivir. When they discharged me, my CRP was 3.5 but then it jumped to 8.1 the next week and 13.4 in the second week. Plus, I developed an allergy around my neck, but that has cleared up now. Can you please advise on how to get my CRP levels down?
Take antibiotics
