I've been hearing a lot about using HCQ 200 MG as a way to boost immunity against Covid. I'm wondering if it's safe to take it twice a week for that purpose. Could this really help, and are there any risks I should be aware of? I'm curious because I've seen mixed opinions online and want to make sure it's a good idea before considering it.

Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is not recommended for use as a preventive measure against Covid-19. It is important to follow guidelines from health authorities and consult with a healthcare professional for the most appropriate preventive measures.

I've had a fever since early this morning, and it's coming down a bit. But my heart rate is staying pretty high, around 110-130 BPM. Is this usual when you have a fever, or should I be more worried about this heart rate change? I'm feeling really anxious about it. My apple watch even gave me a high heart rate alert while I was resting this evening. What should I do?

Normal, if still heart rate persists more than 100 beats per minute after fever subsides u may require an ecg and cardiac markers .
