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 a bit worried after getting my covid vaccination yesterday morning. Is it okay if I eat non-veg in the next few days? Some people are suggesting I should avoid it for 5 days. Could you advise on this?

No problem you have it

I'm dealing with a fever that goes up to 102.5 in the evenings and nights, but it disappears by morning. My blood report shows that my RBC, WBC, and platelets are normal. I've been taking some meds: Paracip 650, Cefix 200 DT, and Pantosec D, twice a day for the last couple of days. I felt fine during the day today, but now the fever's coming back. I'm also feeling a bit weak because of the fever. What should I do?

It seems like you may be experiencing a recurring fever despite taking the medications. Since your blood report shows normal levels of RBC, WBC, and platelets, the fever may be due to an underlying infection. I recommend adding an antibiotic like Azithromycin your current treatment regimen. Additionally, you can take a fever reducer like Crocin 650mg for relief from fever and weakness. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If the fever persists or worsens, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I need a medical fitness certificate for my job. Not sure where to start or what exactly is required. Can you guide me on how I can get this from a doctor and what kind of tests or information might be involved? I'm feeling a bit anxious about it.

it's good if you could visit a doctor or any local dispensary and get it prepared in person. The doctor would like to examine you and the issue a certificate.
