Question

Can dexamethasone 0.5mg really help stop and cure COVID? I've been hearing from some experts and news channels that it might work. Im curious about how it works and what it's normally used for? Plus, its so cheap, only 40 rupees for 30 tablets. Could it really be an effective treatment?

Question

A cat tried to bite me, and while I managed to pull my hand away, there was still a bit of contact with its teeth. There was hardly any pressure, so I didnt get a cut or even a scratch. I washed my hand and put spirit on it. Is that all I need to do, or is there anything else I should be concerned about?

Question

I've been really worried because I lost my sense of smell around October 14th or 15th. I got tested on the 16th and my ct value came back as 27. I've been isolating since the 15th, and I haven't had any other symptoms. My oxygen, pulse, and temperature have all been normal, and thankfully my sense of smell has returned. I'm just wondering, when is it safe for me to come out of isolation?
