I've just tested positive for COVID in an RT PCR test a couple of days ago. I'm a bit worried and not sure what medications I should be taking right now. Currently, I'm on Telma 20 for blood pressure, and I'm experiencing some mild cold symptoms along with body aches, but no cough or fever. Could you advise on what I should do?

View allI'm dealing with a viral fever right now and I'm feeling alright at the moment. I've been sticking to fluids and vegetarian meals, but I'm really craving some spicy food, like non-vegetarian biryani. Is it okay to satisfy that craving while I'm in this condition?
-It's good that you're feeling better! You can enjoy some spicy non-vegetarian biryani if your appetite and digestion are normal now. Just eat in moderation and ensure it's freshly cooked to avoid upsetting your stomach.

We're planning to adopt a child and need to get a medical certificate for the adoption process with CARA. It should say we're not dealing with any chronic illnesses and are fit and healthy. We're wondering, should we go to a general physician or a gynaecologist for this? And what kind of medical tests are usually involved? Would really appreciate any advice.

I'm really worried about my wife. She's running a fever, and her temperature is at 99.9. I wanted to check if it's okay to give her NICIP PLUS. What do you think?
NICIP PLUS is a combination medication containing Paracetamol, Nimesulide, and Serratiopeptidase. It is commonly used for fever and pain relief. However, it is important to note that Nimesulide is not recommended in many countries due to its potential side effects on the liver. For fever relief, you can consider giving her PARACETAMOL 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed. Make sure to keep her well-hydrated and monitor her temperature regularly. If the fever persists or worsens, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
