I've been dealing with COVID for about ten days, and thankfully most of the symptoms are gone, but I still have this annoying itch in my throat. Its making me uncomfortable. Could you recommend something to help soothe this throat irritation?

You can try using lozenges containing benzocaine or menthol to help soothe the throat irritation. Additionally, you can use a throat spray containing phenol or glycerin to help relieve the itchiness. Make sure to stay hydrated and gargle with warm salt water to further alleviate the discomfort.

Question

I'm thinking about trying the REFOLLIUM capsules, but I'm a bit concerned about whether they're actually good for my health. Do they come with any side effects I should be aware of?

I've got this little situation where my puppy, who's just a stray and about one and a half months old, accidentally nipped my thumb while I was feeding him. It wasn't a deep bite, just caught me for a split second, but it did break the skin a bit and I noticed a tiny bit of blood. It's been about 23 hours now, and there's no pain or bleeding anymore. I washed the area really well and put some antibacterial cream on it right away. Should I be worried about getting an injection for this, or am I good? Just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing here.
