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.

I'm dealing with a constant fever that hovers around 99 to 100 degrees and it's been more than a month now. I've had all the tests done and the only thing that came up was a slight liver enlargement. Besides that, I'm really struggling with weakness, headaches, body aches, dizziness, lower abdomen pain, and severe leg pain. Could you please offer some advice on what's going on and what steps I should take next?

Since no specific cause has been identified in the reports, it is important to consider a broad differential diagnosis. Given your symptoms and the presence of liver enlargement, it may be helpful to consider a trial of antipyretic medication such as Acetaminophen (Tylenol) for fever and pain relief. Additionally, ensuring an adequate intake of fluids and rest is important for recovery. It is also recommended to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management, as persistent symptoms warrant a thorough assessment to rule out any underlying conditions that may require specific treatment.

I'm wondering if it's okay for an average person like me to take Zincovit and Vitamin C every day? If so, what would be the right amount to take? And if it's not meant for daily use, how long should I actually take these supplements, and what's the dosage during that period?

A normal person can take Zincovit and Vitamin C supplements daily, but it's essential to follow the recommended dosages: Zincovit (zinc, vitamin C, and other minerals) 1-2 tabletscapsules per day, and Vitamin C 60-90 mg per day,
