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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI'm dealing with a really annoying runny nose from a cold, and I'm wondering if something like Otrivin Oxy or the Vicks inhaler would help clear it up. Have you seen these treatments work effectively for this kind of issue? I've heard mixed things and just want to make sure I'm using the right thing to get some relief.
Otrivin Oxy and Vicks Inhaler can help with a runny nose due to the common cold, but they work differently and provide temporary relief. If your main issue is nasal congestion, Otrivin Oxy might be more effective, but for soothing and easier breathing, Vicks Inhaler can be helpful. Always follow the instructions for use and avoid prolonged use of decongestants like Otrivin. If symptoms persist, consider seeing a doctor.

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.
