I've recently recovered from COVID-19, tested negative 20 days ago, but I'm still dealing with some mild post-COVID symptoms like headaches and a bit of abdominal discomfort. I've been wondering if it'd be okay to have a couple of small bottles of beer to relax during these tough times. Is it safe to have alcohol now, or should I wait a bit longer?

It is generally advisable to avoid alcohol consumption while recovering from COVID-19 and experiencing post-COVID symptoms. Alcohol can weaken your immune system and may interfere with the recovery process. It is best to focus on staying hydrated, getting adequate rest, and eating a healthy diet to support your body's recovery. If you are experiencing headache and abdominal pain, you can take acetaminophen for headache relief and antacids for abdominal pain. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions.

View allI had dengue a month ago, and my platelets dropped to 18k. I got treated in the hospital and felt better after. The first week was okay, just a bit of tiredness. But now, during the day, I'm feeling way more tired and low on energy. I went back to the doctor and did blood tests again, and they said everything's normal, but I'm still feeling worn out daily. There's a slight improvement, but it's really slow. Also, I have cervical issues. Any idea what could be going on?

I've been keeping track of my symptoms since I caught covid. Initially, I had a high fever of around 102 for the first three days, but now it's settled to about 99 over the last 48 hours. My Spo2 levels are at 99, and I have a bit of a cough, though it's not too bad. Since today marks my 7th day, I'm wondering if it's necessary for me to start taking Medrol. Is this something I should be concerned about?
Hydration and rest: Keep yourself hydrated and rest adequately to help your immune system fight the virus. Symptom management: Continue with medications like paracetamol for fever or any prescribed cough syrups or other symptom relievers. Follow-up: Regularly monitor your SpO2 levels (especially if symptoms worsen), and if you're unsure about needing steroids, contact your doctor.
