I've just received a negative COVID test result, which is a huge relief, but I'm unsure about how long I should continue taking my Zincovit tablets. Is it necessary to keep taking them for a set period even after testing negative, or can I stop now? Would love any guidance on this!

I'm a bit worried because I had dengue fever 5 days ago, and when I left the hospital, my platelet count was at 150,000. But yesterday, it dropped to 140,000. Is this kind of drop normal, or should I be concerned about it?

A slight decrease in platelet count from 150,000 to 140,000 five days after discharge from dengue fever is not uncommon, as platelet counts can fluctuate during recovery; however, it's essential to monitor the trend and watch for any further significant drops or symptoms like bleeding or bruising

I'm really worried because my maid has been with us for the last 45 days, and she just called to say she has diarrhoea and a fever. Could it be COVID-19? She mentioned she walked home in the hot sun, drank cold water, and ate a lot of watermelon yesterday, and now she's just dealing with diarrhoea. Do you think all of us should get tested for COVID?

I'm feeling really worried because I've got a fever of 101 and there's a rash too. Could these symptoms mean it's a viral fever? If it is, how is the treatment different from other types of fever? Ive got some medicine names but could you tell me what I should be taking? If you can, Id appreciate it if you explain in Hindi since I might not get all the medical terms.

check cbc and platelets and take iv fluids if necessary based on symptoms
