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.

I have been suffering from cold and cough, and for the past two days, I noticed blood in my cough. I went to the hospital, and the doctor advised a blood test, which came back negative except for a mild infection. The doctor prescribed Azithromycin 500 and flu medicine. However, I am still coughing up blood 2 to 3 times. What should I do now?

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?

I have attached my blood report. The report includes the remark, Alert, Predominantly normocytic normochromic with ovalocytes. Platelets appear adequate in smear. I also have a family history of thyroid issues and am currently taking medication for it. Could you please explain what these findings mean and if there is any cause for concern?
