I've had a runny nose for the last couple of days. Do you have any recommendations for a medicine that can help? I've tried using Otrivin, but it feels a bit too intense for me. Could you recommend a tablet that might work better?

I'm really worried because after my fever, I've been dealing with this abdominal pain. My doctor told me to take Seconil, but when I went to the pharmacy, they gave me something called Secnil instead. I'm just not sure if they're the same thing and whether it's okay to take it. Could you help me out with this?

Seconil is typically used as a tranquilizer and anti-anxiety medication. It is commonly prescribed for managing anxiety, stress, and certain psychiatric conditions. Secnil, on the other hand, is an antibiotic containing Ciprofloxacin. It is generally used to treat bacterial infections, including urinary tract infections, gastrointestinal infections, and other types of bacterial infections.

I've been feeling really off since having a COVID infection back in April. It's strange because since around May 21st, I've been feeling really dizzy, almost like being in a moving bus or train, and I've been experiencing extreme weakness. My symptoms also include a dry cough and an evening fever that hovers between 99.4 to 99.8 degrees. My pulse rate shoots up to 170 just from climbing stairs, and I've even had some chest pain here and there. Luckily, my appetite is still okay. I got an X-ray done and was wondering if there's any sign of infection. A while back, my CRP was 14.65, and though I haven't tested it again lately, my ECG was normal. My CBC showed a WBC count of 11,500, with hemoglobin at 10.6. Everything else looked fine, and I've tested negative for typhoid and malaria. Just trying to figure out what's going on with me. Any insights?
