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!

Typically, Zincovit tablets, which support immune function, can be continued for 1-2 weeks after recovering from COVID-19,

I've been dealing with a cold, runny nose, and a slight fever since this morning. Now I've lost my sense of smell and taste. Should I be worried? Does this sound like COVID or just a regular flu? And how long might it take for my taste and smell to come back? Would love some advice.

Losing smell and taste, combined with cold, runny nose, and slight fever, could be indicative of COVID-19, but it's also possible with other viral infections like the common flu; to determine the cause, consider getting a COVID-19 test, rest, stay hydrated, and use over-the-counter medications to alleviate symptoms; your sense of smell and taste should return once the infection resolves, usually within 7-14 days.

I'm really worried about some health issues I've been having lately. Over the past few weeks, I've lost weight pretty quickly, dropping from 81.2kg on January 1st to 73.3kg by January 26th. I've also been dealing with nerve pull pain in my chest. I've had tests done like ECG, Echo, CT scan, and X-ray, but nothing's been diagnosed. For a few days, I felt okay, but now I'm dealing with gas, chest pain, a cough, headaches, and the weight loss is still happening. I get tired really easily and had night sweats one night, plus I sometimes get palpitations. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should my next steps be?

I've been dealing with typhoid for the past couple of days, and I used to take Tarivid 200 mg tablets for it. Now I can't find them anywhere in the market. What should I do? Are there any alternatives you would recommend? Do I need a prescription for them? Any advice would be really appreciated.
