I've been really anxious about something recently. I tested positive for COVID-19 about a month ago, and a week after that, I got mild pneumonia. The doctor put me on steroids, and now that I've recovered from COVID, I'm really worried about the risk of getting black fungus. I've never had diabetes or any other diseases, and I was in home isolation the whole time I had COVID. Do you think I could still be at risk for contracting it?

I've been dealing with a cold for about two months now, and it's left me with this really annoying foul taste in my mouth. The cold itself isn't really bothering me as much as the taste is. Any ideas on what's causing this, and how I can get rid of that awful taste?

recurence is due to allergic reaction ,avoid exposing to allergin

I accidentally took two Sinarest tablets just a few minutes apart because I forgot I had already taken one. My prescription says to take one in the morning and one at night. Could this be a big problem? I'm really worried. What should I do?

no need to worry since it is only 2 tablets that you have swallowed

my brother has a hole in his right eardrum and hears sounds but they're muffled. he's been on nutramore tablets and azeflo nasal spray for a year as prescribed by the doctor. is there any other treatment besides surgery or meds that can help heal the eardrum hole

The effectiveness of Ayurvedic or Homeopathic treatment depends on the specific condition and individual response. Some mild cases may improve with alternative therapies, but more serious issues might need conventional medical or surgical treatment. It's best to consult both specialists for a balanced approach.
