My dad got COVID about a week ago, and we've been staying in the same space since then. Now I've got a fever, tonsillitis, and weakness for the past three days. When should I get tested for COVID?

I'm really worried about my friend who smokes a lot. Do you have any suggestions on how he could quit smoking? Also, he doesn't eat much and is really thin. What can he do to gain some weight in a healthy way?

To help your friend quit smoking, I recommend using Nicotine replacement therapy. He can try Nicorette gum or patches to help reduce cravings. Additionally, he can try prescription medications like Chantix or Zyban to help with withdrawal symptoms. It's also important for him to seek support from a counselor or join a smoking cessation program for additional help and motivation. To address his concern about not eating much and being thin, he can try consuming calorie-dense foods like nuts, avocados, and nut butter. He can also try drinking protein shakes or smoothies to increase his calorie intake. Additionally, he should focus on eating frequent small meals throughout the day to help with weight gain.

I've been feeling a bit off since this morning. I had a sore throat for a couple of days but did some morning gurgling with Glycoceptol and it seemed to do the trick. But now I've got this body ache that disappeared pretty quickly after I got up, and I'm left with a mild headache and feeling a bit feverish. It doesn't seem like the fever's even hitting 99 F. Should I be concerned or just wait it out?
