Hey, I'm a bit concerned and could use some advice. My wife and I, both 35, went through mild Covid symptoms recently and thankfully, we're negative nowit's been about three weeks. During our treatment, we didn't take Aspirin or any other blood thinners. Should we consider taking any blood thinners now that we're recovering? Any guidance would be really helpful.

Gudcef CV 200 is an antibiotic containing cefpodoxime and clavulanic acid, effective against bacterial infections, not viral fever; taking antibiotics for viral fever won't help and may lead to antibiotic resistance; for viral fever, focus on symptom management with rest, hydration, antipyretics like paracetamol, and antihistamines for cold and headache;

I'm wondering how much of the Evion capsules a person without any health concerns should be taking and for how long it's safe to continue this. Is there a standard recommendation, or should I be cautious about any side effects if used over a certain period?

I've been hearing mixed things about using a copper water bottle for drinking. Some friends swear by it, but others are warning me that it could lead to health issues, like infertility. Is there any truth to that? I'm really curious to know if using a copper bottle is actually beneficial or if I should be cautious. Would love some guidance!

While copper water bottles have been touted for their potential health benefits, such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, excessive copper consumption can indeed cause health issues, including infertility, liver damage, and other problems; the Indian government's guidelines recommend using copper vessels that are coated with a layer of tin or silver to prevent copper toxicity, and drinking water stored in copper vessels for 8-12 hours is considered safe,
