I've been dealing with a running nose and fever for the last few days, and now I've got a sore throat and cough since last night. These seem like symptoms of viral fever, right? Can you recommend any homemade remedies? The weather here is terrible, so I can't get to a doctor.

I recommend taking over-the-counter medications such as acetaminophen for fever and sore throat. You can also try using honey and lemon for your sore throat. Additionally, steam inhalation can help with your runny nose and cough. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest.

I'm really worried about my COVID results. My wife tested positive but then negative after 10 days of quarantine. Ive been having a cold and a nose blockage for a bit, and my RTPCR just came back positive with a CT value of 33, but I don't feel any symptoms now. Do you think I need to redo the test soon, and how much longer should I stay in quarantine? I'm kind of anxious about what to do next.

I'm trying to understand if it's okay for someone who's generally in good health to start taking Zincovit tablets every day to boost their immunity, especially with everything going on with the Covid pandemic. Is it safe to use these daily, or could there be any side effects I should be aware of?

take it once in a week as immunity booster
