Question

I'm Covid positive but haven't had any symptoms until now. Suddenly, I've got a fever with chills that last for about 30 seconds, loose motion, body ache, and my SPO2 levels are fluctuating between 95 and 98. What should I do?

Question

I'm on chymoral forte three times daily and cynomycin twice a day, but I didn't catch when exactly I'm supposed to take them. Is it supposed to be before or after meals? And how long should I wait between eating and taking these meds? I found some info online saying chymoral forte is to be taken half an hour before meals and cynomycin two hours after meals. Does that sound right to you?

Question

I'm worried because my fever hasn't gone away in five days, and my platelet count has dropped to 94,000. I've been on a drip for these five days, but there's no change in the fever. What could be going on, and what should I do next?
