I've just tested positive for COVID and I'm isolating at home. Can you let me know what medicines I should take or if there's any specific treatment I should follow? I'm also interested in having a teleconsultation.

I'm feeling really weak ever since I had typhoid, and I was wondering if it's okay to take Dexorange and Betonin together to help with that. Can you let me know if this combination is safe or if there are any side effects I should be worried about?

To overcome weakness after typhoid, focus on nutrient-rich foods, hydration, and rest, and consider supplements like Dexorange (iron and vitamins) and Betonin (B-complex vitamins) under medical guidance, but take them separately, as combining may lead to excessive vitamin intake.

I'm really concerned about my sister. She was just diagnosed with dengue yesterday, and it was her first day of having a fever. The doctor prescribed pcm and pan, but her fever hasn't come down at all. Her temperature is stuck at 104.6, and her platelet count is 2 lakhs. Should I be worried? Also, any suggestions on what she can eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner that might be suitable for her? She's 30 years old and currently experiencing full body pain, saying her body is burning. I'm really anxious since she hasn't eaten anything yet. Is there something I can do to help her feel better? And is it okay to give her solo again now since I gave her some at 9 pm last night?

I've been dealing with viral fever-like symptoms for the last three days and even after getting three injections and taking some large tablets from my doctor, there's been no major improvement. I'm feeling really heavy, off-balance, experiencing vomiting and gas in my stomach. I'm starting to worry if my doctor is just in it for the money. Can someone genuinely help me out? I'm getting really impatient with all this discomfort.
