My mom tested positive for COVID five days ago. Right now, she only has a mild fever and feels weak. I attached her chest X-ray report. She's been taking favipiravir, ivermectin, azithral, doxycycline, zinc, and vitamin C. Should we keep going with this treatment, or think about switching to other medications?

Could someone help me understand how to use becosule capsules and what's the right dosage? I've been prescribed these, but I'm not really sure how often I should be taking them or if there's anything specific I should watch out for while using them. Any advice would be appreciated!

Becosule capsules, containing Vitamin B complex, are typically taken orally, 1-2 capsules daily after meal

Can I take Becosules Z, Evion 400, and Shelcal 500 all at once? What's the recommended dosage for each, and how long should I be taking them? I'm just trying to figure out if combining these is okay, and how to do it safely.

I'm really struggling with a dry cough and it's quite annoying. Are there any effective cough syrups you could recommend to help with this? I've tried a couple from the pharmacy but haven't had much luck, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

For dry cough, you can try using Delsym (dextromethorphan) syrup. The recommended dosage for adults is 10 mL every 12 hours. Another option is Robitussin Dry Cough (dextromethorphan) syrup, with a recommended dosage of 10 mL every 4 hours. Always follow the instructions on the label and consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns.
