I've been dealing with this viral fever, and my doctor recommended I take Zyrcold syrup. But now I've started having loose motions, and I'm worried that the syrup might be causing it. Could Zyrcold be the reason for this? Should I stop taking it or do something different?

Yes, in rare cases it can cause diarrhea but it will get cured soon.Drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration, which can occur with diarrhea. Drink water, oral rehydration solutions (ORS), clear soups, or electrolyte drinks.

I'm feeling this weird internal fever for the past four days, even though my thermometer says I'm at a normal 98.6. I just don't feel right on the inside, you know? Im not experiencing body aches or anything like shortness of breath, but I'm definitely not feeling as active as usual. There's no cough, but there's a slight discomfort in my chest. Do you think this could be related to COVID-19 or maybe it's just anxiety? Im really worried because they sealed our society after someone tested positive for coronavirus. Any advice or insights would be appreciated.

its better to check for covid because history of covid is there recently
