I've been hearing mixed things about using a copper water bottle for drinking. Some friends swear by it, but others are warning me that it could lead to health issues, like infertility. Is there any truth to that? I'm really curious to know if using a copper bottle is actually beneficial or if I should be cautious. Would love some guidance!

While copper water bottles have been touted for their potential health benefits, such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, excessive copper consumption can indeed cause health issues, including infertility, liver damage, and other problems; the Indian government's guidelines recommend using copper vessels that are coated with a layer of tin or silver to prevent copper toxicity, and drinking water stored in copper vessels for 8-12 hours is considered safe,

View allI'm feeling feverish on and off for the last couple of weeks, but every time I take my temperature, it's at 98.6. I've also got a bit of a sore throat, but I'm not having any issues with breathing or a dry cough.

Any advice?

I'm really worried and need some advice. I've been dealing with strep throat for about a week and a half, and my right tonsil is super swollen. I've also been getting pain in my ear. Last Thursday, they said I had a sinus infection, but they didn't check my throat for strep back then. I just started taking amoxicillin today, two doses so far, but after the first one, I took a nap and woke up with this chest pain on the upper right side when I breathe. Is this normal or something I should be concerned about?
it might be due to gastritis which is a side effect of Amoxicillin.
