My mom got the Covishield vaccine for Covid19 about a week ago, and even after 7 days, she's still having a swollen, painful, and tight feeling where she got the shot. We've tried using Thormophob tube and given her zero Dolphy, but it doesn't seem to be getting much better. I'm really worried and could use some advice on what tablet or cream might help. Also, she has Type 2 diabetes, so I'm not sure if that's affecting how she's healing. What can we do to help her feel better?

I 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?

Hey, I was wondering if you could help me out. I'm searching for an alternative to Becosules Z, which has a mix of B complex vitamins and zinc. Do you have any suggestions for a good substitute? I'm really curious about my options and could use some guidance.

I'm on my 13th day without being able to smell or taste anything, and my nose is still blocked. I tested positive for COVID ten days ago and haven't had symptoms like fever or breathlessness since day one. I've been taking Azithromycin 500 for five days, along with Montek, Limcee, Zincovit, and vitamin D weekly. I'm feeling just like I did on day onenothing's improved or gotten worse. A doctor suggested I take Ivermectol once daily for three days and Doxy 1 LDR twice a day for five days. Should I go ahead with this? My oxygen levels are between 97 and 99. What do you think?
