I've been feeling kind of weak lately and I'm wondering if it's because I'm vegetarian. Is it okay if I start taking vitamin B tablets? Do they actually help?

As a vegetarian, taking Vitamin B supplements can be beneficial, especially Vitamin B12, which is found primarily in animal products; Vitamin B complex tablets can help alleviate weakness, fatigue, and neurological symptoms

My mom tested positive for COVID five days ago. Right now, she only has a mild fever and feels weak. I attached her chest X-ray report. She's been taking favipiravir, ivermectin, azithral, doxycycline, zinc, and vitamin C. Should we keep going with this treatment, or think about switching to other medications?

Continue all the medications as advised by the physician..
