I tested COVID 19 positive, and my report shows N Gene: 13 and ORF 1ab: 13. Could you please advise if it is safe to take Muceder 600 and Montas L? Is my condition serious, or can I treat this safely at home?

Vidhi was diagnosed with anaemia by a local doctor. He prescribed Bizfer XT tablet and Zincovit tablet. After taking the medicines, she got fever and weakness. The local doctor then prescribed Rabeprazole gastro resistant tablet IP 20 mg and Macleods. But in the recent blood report, she is having RBCs showing mild hypochromic, microcytic.

Why do I sometimes suddenly feel a chill during the day? I have checked my fever but it is 97.4. Four days ago my WBC was slightly elevated and today it is back to normal. Currently I am taking Ganaton OD and Pan 40 for acid reflux. One month ago I had chickenpox. I am very worried about this. Please check my report.
