I've had a cough and cold for a week now and my complete blood profile came back normal, but my ESR is 75mm. I haven't had any fever, body pain, vomiting, or diarrhea. Currently, I'm on amoxyclav and taking ascoryl syrup. Do you think I need any more medication or any other tests? I'm a bit worried.

I'm really worried because my husband tested positive for COVID two weeks ago. He went into home quarantine right away and also had a CT scan done of his chest. Right now, he only has a cough and some congestion. There's no fever or trouble breathing so far. Is there something specific I should be doing or looking out for to make sure he's handling it okay?

do regular breathing exercises

I've noticed this painful lump in my left armpit for the last two days. It's small, not something you can really see from the outside, but you can definitely feel it when you press down. There's some mild pain when I do that. Could it be something serious?

Its possible that the lump in your armpit could be a swollen lymph node or a minor cyst, which are usually not serious. However, if it persists or gets worse, it's best to see a doctor for a proper evaluation.

I'm trying to understand if azithral 250mg and azithral 250mg DT are the same thing. If I run out of azithral 250mg DT, is it okay to switch to azithral 250mg, or are they different enough that I should stick with the DT version?

both are same , you can use either of it
