I've been dealing with a cold, cough, and fever about 10 to 15 days ago. Now, even though my body still feels hot, there's no fever when I use a thermometer. I'm also experiencing a bit of weakness. Any idea what these symptoms could mean? What medication could help prevent or cure this?

These symptoms could be related to a post-viral syndrome, where your body is still recovering from the previous cold, cough, and fever. The feeling of body heat without an actual fever could be due to residual inflammation or immune response. The slight weakness may also be a lingering effect of the previous illness. To help alleviate these symptoms, you can consider taking a medication like Paracetamol (brand name: Tylenol) for any discomfort or perceived feverishness. Additionally, you may benefit from over-the-counter cough syrups like Dextromethorphan (brand name: Robitussin) for any lingering cough. Make sure to get plenty of rest, stay hydrated, and eat nutritious foods to support your body's recovery.

Can I combine Zincovit and B Complex in my routine? I'm also on UpriseD3 60k once a week and taking Limcee for vitamin C with another zinc supplement. Is this combo safe or should I spread them out? Feeling a bit confused about managing these. Any advice?
Yes, it is generally safe to take Zincovit and B Complex together, as they contain different vitamins and minerals that support various bodily functions. However, since you're also taking Limcee (Vitamin C) and another zinc supplement, it's important to ensure you're not exceeding the recommended daily intake of zinc or other vitamins. It's best to consult with your doctor to adjust the doses if needed.
