I've been dealing with a lot of strange symptoms lately and I'm getting really worried about whether this might be omicron. So it all started with a sore throat a couple of weeks ago, which went away with medicine, but then I got a dry cough right after. The cough stopped, but since then, I've had this crazy muscle pain all over my body. I switched doctors and did a CBC test; the results showed my WBC and platelets were a bit high. The new doctor gave me amoxicillin, pacimol, and zecal active. The body pain faded, but now I have a cold and a lot of wet coughing. I skipped pacimol once, and that muscle pain is back with a vengeance. I haven't done a test yet because my exams are coming up and I'm always on the move in Mumbai local trains, although I wear a double mask and I'm fully vaccinated. Still, could this be omicron? Should I just take something like limcee, steam, or pcm at home? What steps should I follow to get better?

It's possible that you have a viral infection (possibly Omicron or another strain of flu), but you should ideally get tested to confirm. At-home measures such as rest, hydration, steam inhalation, and PCM can help manage your symptoms. Keep your doctor updated if symptoms persist or worsen. Lastly, double masking and social distancing are important, especially since you're traveling in crowded areas. Keep monitoring your symptoms, and consult your doctor if you're unsure about any medications or treatments.

View allI've been dealing with a fever for about three days now and I've tried taking paracetamol and tromanil forte, which got my body temperature back to normal.

I'm dealing with a sore throat from a bacterial infection, and my doctor told me to take Azithromycin 500mg once a day for 3 days. I'm wondering if it's okay to take the first dose at night, or should I wait until tomorrow morning? And if I do take it tonight, when should I take the second one, tomorrow morning or tomorrow night?
-You can take the first dose at night. After that, take the second dose the following morning and continue once a day for the next two days as prescribed. Make sure to space the doses about 24 hours apart for best results.
