I've been dealing with a cold, fever, and a respiratory cough and the pharmacist suggested I take paracetamol and Novaclav 625, twice daily for two days. However, I've already taken it for three days now. I'm wondering, how many days is it safe or recommended to continue taking Novaclav 625?

Novaclav 625, a combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid, is typically prescribed for 5-7 days for respiratory infections, so taking it for only 3 days may not be sufficient to fully clear the infection,

I was diagnosed with COVID about 16 days ago and spent 3 days in the hospital. They sent me home once my CRP level was below 2. Now, 10 days later, my CRP is at 4.4. I'm taking Medrol 16 mg and Ecosprin 150 mg, but its gone up. Should I be concerned about this increase?

I've been hearing a lot about using HCQ 200 MG as a way to boost immunity against Covid. I'm wondering if it's safe to take it twice a week for that purpose. Could this really help, and are there any risks I should be aware of? I'm curious because I've seen mixed opinions online and want to make sure it's a good idea before considering it.

Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is not recommended for use as a preventive measure against Covid-19. It is important to follow guidelines from health authorities and consult with a healthcare professional for the most appropriate preventive measures.

I'm feeling really weak these last couple of days, and it's got me worried. A while back, I was taking Neurobion Forte for low hemoglobin issues. Do you think it would be okay for me to start taking it again, maybe one dose after lunch for the next 15 days? I'm just not sure if it's the right move and would love your take on it.

Can be taken If weakness persist then visit physician
