I've been having these Covid symptoms since this morning and I've already done an RT PCR test. After talking to a doctor on Practo, I started on some meds. My Spo2 levels seem to fluctuate between 93 and 97 on my left index finger, but they read 97-99 on my right index. Is it normal for the oxygen levels to be different on each finger? What's the ideal range I should be looking for? And at what point should I be worried? My fever is currently at 101F.

I got my COVID vaccine this morning and now Ive got a fever of 101F. I'm taking Dolo 650 for it. Can I still take my usual meds for blood pressure and asthma? What should I do about the fever, body aches, and this headache Im having?

Yes, continue all the medications.

I'm a bit confused about taking Zentel. Is it okay to take it in the morning after I've had breakfast? And if I do, will it be alright to have lunch later in the day? Just want to make sure I'm doing it right!

Yes, you can take Zentel (brand name for albendazole) in the morning after food. It is usually recommended to take it with food to help improve absorption. You can take Zentel again after lunch, but be sure not to exceed the prescribed dosage.
