My grandmother's been running a fever since this morning. It hit 102 earlier, dropped to 100 after we gave her an antibiotic, but then climbed back up to 102, and now it's at 101. She's also coughing heavily. Im not sure if this could be COVID since we haven't been traveling. Should we be worried and get it checked out, or maybe wait and see for a bit?

I'm curious if it's safe to take 60,000 IU of vitamin D every week. With the lockdown and winter coming, I'm not getting much sun exposure. Can you advise?

Yes, taking 60,000 IU of vitamin D per week is generally safe for most people, especially if you're deficient, but it's important to follow your doctor's recommendation and monitor your levels. Since you're not getting enough sun exposure, this supplementation can help maintain optimal levels, but always keep track of any symptoms and consult your doctor regularly.

I'm currently taking Clavam 650 for my cold, runny nose, and cough, and I've been using Dolo 650 for fever starting today. But I've heard about this AB-Flo-N tablet and was wondering if it's better for dealing with cold and cough symptoms than Clavam 650, or is it only meant for asthma?

I'm currently taking Practin 4 mg three times a day and was wondering if it's okay to combine that with vitamin B12. Could you let me know if there are any possible interactions or side effects I should be aware of?

For vaginal tightness, a water-based lubricant can be helpful. Look for a lubricant that is fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and pH-balanced to minimize the risk of irritation or infection. Some good options include K-Y Liquibeads, Astroglide Water-Based Lubricant, or Sliquid H2O. Always read the label and follow instructions for use.
