Question

I've been dealing with a fever for a couple of days, along with a cough and a cold. I started by taking Crocin Advance, but then switched to taking Nicip Plus. I feel a little better, but I'm still feeling kind of feverish. Is there anything else I should be doing or taking, or do I just need a bit more time to recover?

Increasing height after growth plates have closed (around 18-25 years old) is challenging.

Available medications and supplements claim to increase height, but their effectiveness and safety are questionable:

  1. Growth hormone injections: Only prescribed for growth hormone deficiencies, not for general height increase.
  2. Ashwagandha: May help with overall health, but no conclusive evidence supports its height-increasing claims.
  3. Speed Height capsules: Lack scientific evidence and may contain untested ingredients.

Consult a healthcare professional or an endocrinologist for personalized advice. They can help you:

  1. Assess your growth potential
  2. Identify underlying growth-related issues
  3. Discuss safe and evidence-based options

Question

I've recently recovered from COVID-19, tested negative 20 days ago, but I'm still dealing with some mild post-COVID symptoms like headaches and a bit of abdominal discomfort. I've been wondering if it'd be okay to have a couple of small bottles of beer to relax during these tough times. Is it safe to have alcohol now, or should I wait a bit longer?
