My dad has been dealing with covid and it's been about 6 days now. He's running a fever, peaking at 100F every 24 hours, and his oxygen levels are fluctuating between 93 and 97. He's had a cough even before this, but it seems to have gotten a bit worse since the covid diagnosis. While he's quarantined at home and mostly okay, he does mention feeling short of breath at times. What should we be doing to make sure he's on the right track health-wise?

I'm 39 and I've been dealing with a cold and cough for a few days now. I tried taking Levolin Plus for my cough, but it feels like the phlegm is stuck in my chest and won't come out. I'm also hearing some noises from my ears. Can you recommend any medications, like a cough syrup or antibiotics, that might help me get some relief?

take tablet amoxyclav for 5 days and syrup ascoril twice a day

I'm dealing with a fever and a cold right now, plus my body aches quite a bit. My calves are really hurting today too, which is new for me. I'm also feeling a bit weak overall. Should I be worried? Do you have any advice on what might be going on or what I should do next?

your symptoms could be related to a variety of illnesses, with the flu or a viral infection being the most likely causes. Rest, hydration, and mild pain relievers like paracetmol can help you manage symptoms in the short term, but if they persist or worsen, it's important to see a healthcare provider

Can I take Becosule and Evion capsules at the same time, or should I wait between taking each one? I'm a bit confused about whether it's okay to take them together or if I need to space them out. Any advice would be appreciated.

You can take Becosule and Evion together without significant concerns, but its always a good idea to follow the instructions of your healthcare provider
