My son tested positive for COVID 19, but my report came back negative. I also had a fever, which has now subsided, though I am still experiencing some weakness. Should I be taking any medicine in this situation?

A negative test and recovered fever suggest you have likely been clear of active infection. No specific COVID 19 medicine is needed. Focus on rest, hydration, and balanced meals. If fatigue persists beyond 1 to 2 weeks, please get a Complete Blood Count to rule out anaemia. Contact your doctor if new symptoms develop.

My son had a severe allergic reaction after taking medicine for sudden pain in his leg joints. He developed red, painful dots all over his legs, resembling severe mosquito bites, but without any purple spots. The doctor initially suggested the possibility of vasculitis, but his blood report, including a rheumatoid factor of 8.5, came back negative. I am unsure about the cause of this reaction. Some doctors advise that it will resolve on its own, as additional medications seem to worsen the condition. Please guide me on what steps to take next.

Hello, I have deficiencies in both vitamin D and B12. When I take supplements, my levels improve, but if I stop the medicine even for a month, the levels drop again. Why does this happen, and what can I do to maintain normal vitamin levels?
