I've been feeling a bit under the weather with a sore throat and cold symptoms over the past few days. I noticed my oxygen levels dropped from 99 to 95, which got me worried. So I went ahead and got the rt pcr and chest CT scans done. Thankfully, the Covid test came back negative twice and my HRCT thorax looks normal. One odd thing I've picked up is that I have nasal congestion, but my oxygen levels seem to go back to normal when I breathe through my mouth. Is this something I should be concerned about?

View allI was bitten by a dog that hadn't been vaccinated on August 5th and I got the RabiPure rabies vaccine from a local physician right away. She told me to come back in 7 days for the next dose, but I went to my family doctor instead and found out that I missed the second dose. What should I do now?

I'm really worried because my mom and I both have COVID, and we're using the same nasal spray from Cipla. I accidentally used her nasal spray after she'd already used it. Could this cause any problems, and can she keep using it?
no problem you can continue to use the new one

I'm dealing with a sore throat and cold, and my doctor said it's pharyngitis. He prescribed azithromycin and told me to take 250 mg twice a day for 3 days. But before, another doctor gave me 500 mg once daily for 3 days for a similar issue. I also read online that the dosage for sinusitis is 500 mg daily for 3 days, while for pharyngitis, its 500 mg on the first day, followed by 250 mg twice daily from day 2 to day 5. I'm really confused about what the right dosage should be. Could you help me figure out the correct prescription?
This is the standard recommended dosage for treating pharyngitis caused by bacteria. It is important to follow the dosage and duration as prescribed by your doctor to ensure effective treatment and to prevent antibiotic resistance.
