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.

View allI've been dealing with this high cold for the past five days. The doctor gave me Augmentin, Zerodol P, and Betadine gel, but I'm still struggling with the cold. Sometimes I even get upper back pain and brief chest pain. What should I do?
It seems your cold might be lingering due to congestion or irritation. Keep taking the prescribed medicines, stay hydrated, and use steam inhalation to relieve symptoms. If the chest pain persists or worsens, consult your doctor again to rule out any complications.

I'm curious about the long-term effects of working night shifts. I've been at it for over three years, and I've read that it can cause physical health issues over time. Is that true? If so, how serious can these problems get? Also, are there any specific precautions I can take to minimize these health risks?
Yes night shift duties would cause lack sleep and rest which leads to serious problems like high cholesterol,diabetes,hypertension,acidity etc.,manage your sleep schedule in a healthy way and take adequate rest

I've been dealing with a cold, cough, and fever about 10 to 15 days ago. Now, even though my body still feels hot, there's no fever when I use a thermometer. I'm also experiencing a bit of weakness. Any idea what these symptoms could mean? What medication could help prevent or cure this?
These symptoms could be related to a post-viral syndrome, where your body is still recovering from the previous cold, cough, and fever. The feeling of body heat without an actual fever could be due to residual inflammation or immune response. The slight weakness may also be a lingering effect of the previous illness. To help alleviate these symptoms, you can consider taking a medication like Paracetamol (brand name: Tylenol) for any discomfort or perceived feverishness. Additionally, you may benefit from over-the-counter cough syrups like Dextromethorphan (brand name: Robitussin) for any lingering cough. Make sure to get plenty of rest, stay hydrated, and eat nutritious foods to support your body's recovery.
