I've been dealing with a cough for the past couple of days, but oddly enough, I don't have any cold symptoms. Can you recommend any medicine, or should I think about seeing a doctor?

I've been dealing with this dry cough and random discomfort all over, like in my chest, pelvis, and abdomen. These discomforts just appear and disappear, and they don't usually last long, except for my chest, which lingered on two occasions. Also, I've been feeling this slight ache in my shoulder and lower back for about a month now. Just wondering what's going on with my body? Should I be worried, or is there something I should do to make it stop?

I've been showing symptoms that might be related to COVID, and I'm feeling a bit worried. I've been advised to take an antibiotic, but I'm not sure which is better for my throat irritation. Should I go for Azithromycin or Doxycycline?

That depends on the duration of the diseases if its acute start with Azithromycin,if its more than three days better to use combintaion,like both Azithromycin and Doycycline

I'm a bit concerned about this pain I'm feeling in my left arm after a blood test, especially since I usually don't have any issues with them. It's weird because I had one not too long ago and felt fine. Now, it hurts a bit when I try to straighten my arm, and it just doesn't seem like my normal arm. Is this something I should be worried about?

Don't worry it subsides on its own
