I had a minor accident yesterday and now I've got some scratches on my knee. I'm wondering if it's alright to use cipladine ointment for these open wounds and cuts. Would it be safe and effective?

Question

I'm not feeling great and I'm worried I might be sick. Can you help me figure out what's going on and how I can get better quickly without running into any issues?

I've been feeling really tired for weeks and have been sleeping like 12 hours or more sometimes. I thought it might just be a winter bug going around, but today I got really sick and cant even keep water down. Then this dry cough showed up and I've noticed dark hairs, some long and some short, with different thicknesses. I've been collecting them in a tissue because it's freaking me out and I'm scared this could be something serious. What do you think is going on?

Question

I've been dealing with a lot of strange symptoms lately and I'm getting really worried about whether this might be omicron. So it all started with a sore throat a couple of weeks ago, which went away with medicine, but then I got a dry cough right after. The cough stopped, but since then, I've had this crazy muscle pain all over my body. I switched doctors and did a CBC test; the results showed my WBC and platelets were a bit high. The new doctor gave me amoxicillin, pacimol, and zecal active. The body pain faded, but now I have a cold and a lot of wet coughing. I skipped pacimol once, and that muscle pain is back with a vengeance. I haven't done a test yet because my exams are coming up and I'm always on the move in Mumbai local trains, although I wear a double mask and I'm fully vaccinated. Still, could this be omicron? Should I just take something like limcee, steam, or pcm at home? What steps should I follow to get better?
